Default Mugen Hardtop

Hey I had a deal going on locally for a Mugen Hardtop and the guy ended up backing out last minute and decided to keep it

I was seeing if anybody wanted to try and get a Group Buy or something started... I would but I'm way too busy with school, work, and soccer right now to come on the boards alot and update or do whatever I would have to do. I know there was a lot of interest a little while back so just checking if anybody wanted to see if we could get something going?!

Hum, King just had a big Mugen order come in.

I doubt they have any Mugen tops left, but its worth a call.

Even with a GB on a Mugen top, your probably not going to save that much money.

Yea... I figured it wouldn't be a huge saving. Thanks I will give Kings a call to see what's left!!

Actually the Mugen tops dont go that fast. They are too expensive for most, which is good, but as far as a GB is concerned the most you will save is 10%, if that. So not even worth trying. Or you can go through other vendors and wait 24 months to get it for a couple hundred less. Its up to you. Not something I would wait on but for some, they will wait to save. I would personally go OEM for the price. You just cant beat it.

Good luck.

10% is almost 300 bucks dude. I do alright for myself but $300 still seems like a decent sum of money to me. I would be interested if the price was right...
