Mugen Hardtop
Interesting to see, this HT is awesome! I'd like to see what Xclusive was saying though.
In my opinion, I'd go silver, or rather color-match. (can't wait until the day comes when I purchase one)

No, I didn't get the inside painted, I just left it with the black gel coat that it came with. I think it looks fine the way it is, it has a race car look to it, but some people like to paint it, but I couldn't justify the cost to paint it. The install was a little bit of a PITA because the directions are in Japanese and the pictures really suck. I ended up using the PDF for the OEM hardtop install to figure out how to install the main hardware and then I figured out the rest. It was a little more of a pain then I thought it was going to be to install it. Adjusting it so that there was no gap was not too much fun and took a little bit of tinkering to get it right, but after I had my friend push on the top while I clamped it down it went on perfectly, but it took some adjusting to get it where I wanted. Now all I need to do is to adjust the trunk so that it won't hit the top with the SS wing. I'll post up some more pics tomorrow.

I always said, If/When i get the Mugen HT Id paint it black,
just because the soft top is black, but either way is good..
I also like this pic from the Idontwait group buy thread it keeps
growing on me!!

Put some stops on the trunk hinge instead.

Adjusting the trunk makes it look like it fits poorly.
