OEM is my favourite.. Mugen is great too. Spoon is unique, but you kinda lose the trunk and you get a huge blindspot in exchange for aerodynamics.

The top extends to far back and the OEM side windows curve are straight vertical. If the side windows shape was more like a rx-7 with a bit more curvature it would look great but that's not the case here. This car was built as a convertible so the window shapes are molded as such.

IMO only the OEM hardtop looks good as it flows well with the lines of the car and the window in the rear wraps to the side of the car making it look like it doesnt have to much body.

Mugen only looks good with a wild body kit... WHY!?!? Because your not focusing soley on the hard top itself the body kit diverts the attention away from the hardtop.
You're probably gonna get so much hate but yeah I for the most part agree with you That's why I my OEM HT.

and the fanbois are gonna attack

I say keep your current setup with the Spoon top, but just paint the area behind the window to look like a false window, just like in OP's signature.

Just saw this:

Apparently they can add a rear window to your Spoon hardtop. Pretty cool looking IMO. Also would eliminate some of the blind spots.

Moogen!!

Spoon HT is fugly IMO.

I would also recommend going with anthracite grey side panels like suggested, and then color coding the wheels to match it, as I dont think the wheels help the car at all at the moment.

Spoon only works if the rest of the car is clean. The J's kit looks good, but its not at all clean. With the J's kit and spoon, I think it'd look way too busy and would ruin the lines of the car. So I'd say mugen if you already have the J's kit on the car.
