Less than $2000, including the lexan window and homemade hardware.(aluminum brackets)
and after some serious rain last night I can say it doesn't leak either.
It does creak and make some noise going over bumps and stuff, but thats expected I guess.
Looks good, but "home made" hardware

That's why you pay for a Mugen since they come with OEM hardware

Nope, just my soft top latches. If I wanna go topdown, I do have to remove a few interior panels to remove the bracket, but no big deal, I will buy the oem hardware someday.

All I need is the catchers for the rear, what are they $400? I will be on the lookout for them in the FS forum. hopefully can get them for around $200.
actually one reason I would like to have the MUGEN is so after I get it painted I can put some MUGEN stickers on it without getting
I have some authentic MUGEN stickers.
Don't forget about the metal Mugen badge inside

Looks good mang

Heres some pics of the hardware, bolts to the HT and then bolts to existing bolt on car (not shown, didn't feel like taking off the panels)
you get the idea.



S~Factor: yea the creaking/noise sucks, but I've heard all the CF/FRP HTs do this a little, even the oem one too I think.
