Default How much is a hardtop worth?

I have a friend that im interested in buying a hardtop off of. Its a mugen rep. with carbon only on the outside and a lexan back window. Hes asking for $1000. Would this be a good deal? Im planning on getting it painted too so I was wondering if it would be cheaper to just order a new pre-painted one from forbidden. Any thoughts?

Thats an amazing deal. I am selling a BRAND NEW Mugen replica Hardtop without CF sides for $1400, but mine is BNIB, never installed or tried on. Comes with glass window and all seals and hardware required

Who makes the top? There are multiple companies that make that top. If it is a decent replica, that is a good price because you don't have to deal with shipping. If it is a chaser or another horrible fitting hardtop than it isn't worth the hassle of installing (even if it was free). How is the fitment?

Does it come with hardware? How does it fit on his car? Is the clearcoat in good shape? That sounds like a good deal as long as its not in bad shape and has the hardware.

Yeah, that looks like about $500 worth of HT. It is ill fitting on the passenger side at the windshield. I would have bought it though.
