Aftermarket Hardtop with OEM Hardware?
I work at Honda and I can get the oem hardware pretty good price. Just wanted to know if they work with an aftermarket mugen style hardtop. I'd really only need the side latches i think

I helped a local guy install his Mugen hardtop and the hardware was the OEM Honda pieces. 
The Mugen top came with spacers that get installed between the top and the side catchers. If I remember correctly, it spaced each side about 1/4 - 3/8". When we did the install, we didn't use them and when we tried to engage the rear strikers, it wouldn't line up. We had to take the strikers back off, install the spacers, and reinstall the strikers. Fit perfectly after that.

Sorry misunderstood.
I'll probably just end up getting the kit to save myself the hassle
