Yup a couple posts up...

But what Im now wondering (and just started another thread about) is if anyone has added a headliner to their Seibon/Mugen/VIS Hardtop.

I actually saw a car for sale on eBay that stated he did, but I have not seen pics.

Link to eBay post:

I requested a pic, but haven't gotten one yet.

none of the owners have been overly forthcoming about the top... sorry.

only thing I've heard about the mooncraft is that you can't use the trunk anymore.

Duno if this helps, but i found this Info on www.bulletproofautomotive.com:-

Spoon Mooncraft Coupe Hardtop

"As tested on the circuit, this hardtop allowed for faster straight line speeds than the test car when comparing this to the Mugen hardtop.
It is the most aerodynamic hardtop on the market!"

Weight: Slightly under 30lbs!

Does anyone know if the soft top latches fit the hardtop? I looked it up on majestic honda and they look the same but have different part numbers.

If nobody knows I'll just try it.

Thanks

I used my latches from my softtop, since I removed my softtop.

More seibon CF hardtop info...

Mine weighted in at a hair over 30lbs fully loaded with all hardware, weather stripping, and window. Perfect fitment aside from only bolt for the latch (I just drilled the latch hole out no biggie at all), everything else fits fine. No leaks and no rattles on mine.

Semi old winter (I only mount it during winter or while drag racing) pictures but you get the point:










For the amount you save in weight AND money vs the mugen HT, this is by far a no brainer must buy if you want a CF hard top.
