Default Finally painted my hardtop!

Its not Mugen, its Cwings, and I regret not getting Mugen. I was told I'd have it within in a week of purchase, nope 2 1/2 months. Perfect fitment, Not on mine, the hardtop is shimmed slightly to the passenger side, causing my driver side window to hit the hardtop. I think this is also caused by the mounting hardware not having any adjustability. The quality doesn't come close to my Spoon FRP hood. The Cwings top had jagged edges, pinholes on the edges, no clean cuts, and bubbles. Also when mounting the hardtop latch, the two holes didn't line up, they were spaced too far apart, thus only allowing one screw to secure the latch or drill out my oem latch. With the provided weather stripping I still get road noise and wind between the lower seal and window seal, I wonder whats going to happen if it rains.

This was my first knock-off purchase. Everything I've bought was JDM and I should've just got Mugen. Not because its "MAD TYTE JDM YO" it becuse these knock-offs don't fit like JDM, the quality isn't like JDM, the only thing I experience was an ETA like JDM. Live and Learn, here are the pics.
