Help me decide on my next hardtop

If you're dead set on the 'Trophy' piece the Amuse is rad as hell, not to mention that it goes very well with your car as it sits. That being said I thought I saw somewhere else you were parting out the Amuse widebody and other related things. If that's the case I'd wait to pull the trigger on a new top until you figure out what you're doing next.

I don't like 2x2 let alone 4x4. Im a fan of clean 1x1 look.

I'm not talking about replica tops. I don't do that bullshit.
The Challenge top was designed to be similar to the OEM but the outside shape is more inline with the Amuse. The side molding area is smoothed in with the lines of the top just like the Amuse. That is what I meant by saying that visually they are similar.
The Amuse is basically an OEM top with smoothed in side moldings and the MRS rear window. The Challenge top is a smoothed in side molding OEM top that runs the OEM rear window. In addition to that it has the mounting points for all of the OEM interior panels. Both look identical from the outside as they both borrow heavily from the OEM top, however one has the OEM glass.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge JDM Fanboi and I understand what the Amuse top is all about, but if you haven't really looked at the Challenge top I think it's worth a look.
