Don't do it, it is not sealed good if there is any wind noise even above 85mph. Fitment isnt as good as it can be such as the VIS top (which I have) Chaser started selling them for $900 new shipped, so that is kind of a rip off.

You can get a brand new VIS hardtop with new decent seals from gbperfomance in the vendor section for $1275 shipped, and can get a tinted lexan window for $20 more. Its all ready for paint, and paint only ran me $300. So now I have a great fitting hardtop with no wind noise, and it looks great.

How about you just save and get yourself an authentic top that won't have any issues.

yeah, go for an OEM or the seibon. Seibon is the better of the mugen replicas, as it's fitment is near spot on and weighs less than the mugen tops.

OEM is, well, perfect

Here are a few pics of my VIS top. Unlike Chasers, the center of the rear is very even and has no gaps. Also the front seals very nice and doesnt have gaps there like Chasers also.
