Gross. Groooooooossssssssssssss.
Wanted to wait for someone else to say it before I did. How is it possible to see out of the back? People will have to reverse like diablo and countach owners do halfway out of the car.
This is for people to say "look how agressive my hard top is, look at all the scoops, max downforce for the taco bell drive through yo"

Gross.

I hate the term "aggressive" with a passion.

This hardtop isn't for track enthusiasts. This hardtop isn't for design freaks. This hardtop isn't for JDM fanatics. This hardtop isn't for OEM+ followers.

This hardtop is for instagrammers. It is meant to give you maximum instagram cred.

The back looks a little unfinshed and the window is so small.

I'm very curious about what kind of market research was done to check how deep the buyer pool would be, seems like a hard no for 25 of 37 poled, doesn't seem like a percentage worth catering to IMO. Are there any plans to address the potential customers concerns about visibility or design, or is it a done deal take it or leave it type of situation?

What I think a cool designer would be is a hardtop with a built in Cr tonneau cover. That would be something worth poducin IMO
Anyways, I'm always down for interesting new products.

I like that this is *somewhat* an original design (besides the Mugen top used as a base), but the thought behind the design just seems half-baked. It's obviously trying to recreate the look of the Carrera GT, but doesn't do it very well.

The Carrera GT has those two humps because of the intake plenums, I believe, which the S2000 obviously doesn't require. So not only does it look ugly, but you get poor visibility as a result of some designer just thinking it would be cool to add these plenum cover looking things that add zero function and even worse, take away functionality.

I don't see any win in this design at all...
