Default Help me decide on my next hardtop

I love the mugen HT look on my Amuse kit, but I feel like nowadays a lot of people rocking good or bad, real or fake.
So I talked to Amuse Japan about the top as well, manufacturing takes 4-6 weeks. which is not bad
So should I go with Amuse or CF Mugen!

I also dig 1x1 weave that mugen has, I will ask amuse if they can do 1x1 carbon, but chime in please

Dry Carbon Amuse top quality, its made in 2x2 weave







Dry Carbon with Clear coat on top as amuse recommend to protect the carbon from UV for $2000 extra on clear coat




Mugen is mugen, I posted couple pics of my car so you can see and judge on the actual car (VIS Replica black top btw)

I believe mugen fitted so well in black color too







Thanks for your Time!

with all the knock offs coming out now i think you should just pick up whatever is easier and cheaper to get.
There is an authentic Mugen carbon fiber in Canada for sale now for like 6k shipped

Amuse, no question.

Is it actually still possible to get the Toyota MR-S rear window though?

amuse for sure given your build. it's also more rare and has better rear visibility.

I don't like 2x2 let alone 4x4. Im a fan of clean 1x1 look.
Yes you can still get mr-s window
