Spoon top can be had for under 4K FYI Mugen is a good choice as well.

Mugen CF is closer to $6k last time I checked. I'm surprised the Spoon hardtop is so cheap, given the price of their other body panels. Their bumper is mostly frp and it's $2k, their hood is frp and it's around $2k, then they have a dry carbon hardtop for only $4k...

If you plan on painting it, I'd probably get the Mugen FRP one or maybe the seibon. Then I'd get some nice headliner put in and get a rear window for it as well. This is out of your choices, my real choice you can see in my sig, though I do like the mugen when there are multiple other body mods on the car.

I'm a fan of the Mugen top, but it really depends upon the other mods that you have done to the car. If the rest of your car is completely or mostly stock then I would get an OEM top.

If you're going to track the car, get the Spoon as it is more aerodynamically functional. If you're not going to track, get whatever you think looks good. It is the functionality of the Spoon that has me considering selling my OEM HT. Heaven knows I'm not thinking about it because it looks good.

That said, I'm sure some poser will be sporting it and never come within 50 miles of a track.
