Purge, now you get it. 
As far as discussion goes toward functionality, I believe that is only true with all the other Mugen SS2000 parts installed. Mugen parts are tested as a combination. The top might have negligible gains by itself (I could be wrong). Again, I state where does functionality come in on a car with 19" rims? Also, the FRP Mugen is not the same price really as OEM. $2600 plus paint and installation, I got my OEM from Jeff at Ganley for $2150 installed. Weight difference between Mugen FRP and OEM can you say almost zilch? I believe it is 5lbs? Now the CF might save you close to 15lbs, but at twice the price I can probably spend the extra $2500 on something else that will get me horses. Don't get me wrong, the Mugen CF Top is a work of art and I'd love to own one. But when you sit back and look at your life is that extra $2500 better spent somewhere else. If you're a car nut and love to modify this is the question you have to ask yourself.

[QUOTE]I can say whatever I want. In my opinion its not worth the money. If you have a problem with that than ohh well. I really dont care. We are not talking about the Cwest kit here buddy. I am not going to waste my time arguing with you over that.

In my opinion..... I belive that it should have been painted in this way.... which gives a defined shape.. as Mugen have made it more aerodynamic...
I got the CF... and I feel that it would be a waist of $ if I painted it.. The texture looks intriguing.. as the sun reflects on it.
I LOVE IT... a unique S2000
For more Info about the Mugen hard top... I have added some more pic on this thread...
