In the US how much is the genuine Amuse hard top compared with the carbon fibre version of the genuine Mugen top?

I'm assuming your not in the market anymore ....but if u are... I have both authentic mugen and amuse tops. I'm going to sell one or both. Not sure yet.

Fyi...the amuse is sold with hardtop only at the $8500. No hardware or window included. I have the 2 last Toyota OEM Mrs windows in the states from what I was told.

I love my Mugen but the Amuse top looks really cool. Not sure I'd want the Amuse top in a rain storm as it has absolutely no rain channelling on it, my oem top was bad enough for that but that one looks like it would be worse, when you open the door in a rain storm it gets pretty wet.

Man all these hard top knock off companies are like the random dude on the corner selling bootleg DVDs out of his backpack after he rented/returned them to Netflix. (Two big middle fingers in the air..)

Then you folks are getting ripped off.

I bought my Mugen HT in 2003 used for $2500. A new CF one at the same time from King was $5000+ tax. Why on Earth would you pay $7000 for a brand new one 10 years later and the car out of production? Makes no sense. They should be under $5000 when you can pick up a used 2000 S2000 for under $10,000 cash.

I also paid $30 dollars a month for my cell phone plan, less than $2 a gallon for gas, and .50 for a Snickers bar......10 years ago was a different time. Same product then, more than two times as much now.
