So, to clear this up, the Seibon one fits like ass and weighs less? Does the Seibon one even come with all hardware required for install because the hardware cost nearly $400? Damn, I might as well get the FRP Mugen hardtop.

hardware is not included with Seibon top.
but the FRP one is heavvvvvyyyy... 44-45lbs!
I did a lot of research on hardtops and made a thread about it:

remember, a lot of the guys who bash the seibon have little/no experience with them...or got one from a bad batch. out of the Mugen replicas, it's the best one.
it really comes down to... do you want to pay for the mugen badge and have a heavier hardtop.
I invite anyone to come check out my seibon to check fitment. Guarantee it fits just as good, if not better than the Mugen/OEM tops. I'm in Vegas.

Thanks for the info./input Driven and MugenAP2. Searching is a little difficult on this forum. I usually prefer the authentic parts, but if it is unjustifiable, I would prefer to get something that works for cheaper. I CF weave doesn't matter to me because I usually paint my parts anyways wet or dry.

You forgot the weave looks horrible!
"damn, his CF weave looks horrible! I don't care if he's running faster laps, because I have good looking CF weave"
LOL

it's hit or miss apparently. My seibon top fits better than the OEM one.

Regardless Siebon will never fit as good as Mugen.
