hey everyone i might be picking up a replica spoon hardtop in the next few days. it may not come with the hardware kit so i was wondering if anyone knows where i can buy one and roughly how much it is. Also anyone with one can you chime in and let me know what you think about the top and how is it getting to the trunk? thanks for the help

Think twice about it. First you loose your access to your trunk. Plus you have to mod pretty heavily to make it fit or it just looks funny IMO

I agree.. so ugly IMO too. Also you might want to edit your tite a little to be more direct. If your going replica, OEM or mugen replicas are much nicer looking and way easier to install. Not to mention take on and off. I was able to take off my OEM by myself. All you need is a little upper body strength and balance

yea i wasent sure how much you had to mod it. thanks for the insight guys. i really like the mugen one a lot

the spoon one needs a lot of other body mods to make it look good. it looks terrible on a stock body S. the mugen looks good on a stock S with a drop and some rims.

yeah i agree with what everyone is saying.. i saw a stock a1 with a spoon replica hardtop. was not a fan. Personally i would stick to OEM, or OEM / mugen Reps.

Many new owners jump right at the spoon top for some reason. IMO if you're not widebody and have some really aggressive mods that hardtop looks terrible.
If you like it go for it but think it will look much better with oem or mugen style top.

Ya I'm happy I didn't have the money I wanted that top when I first got my car. Would have regretted it

It is your car so your decision in the end. I have basically a cr replica and many people hate the cr but honestly I get nothing but compliments

You could also ask this question in the JDM tuning section. I haven't noticed anyone in metro with a spoon replica/authentic top but I seen pics on the net, the authentic mooncraft top which is installed on the spoon s2000 allows access to the trunk. I also agree the top requires some aggressive parts to make it flow: Wide body, Huge wing, and some deep dish wheels for starters
