hellllllll no.... buy a used oem and save yourself the headache of fitment. With these things they cost just as much as oem ones cuz you have to buy the hardware and the glass. Just look for a used oem u can usually find one for 2500 with all hardware included

Ive heard some bad reviews about octanemotorsports I would stay away, If you really want a mugen hardtop id get it from a vendor here I think I saw a vendor selling an frp hardtop with hardware for 999$(correct me if im wrong). Goodluck.

I didn't buy personally from this guy, but from another board member that did. It was a horror story from that dude. Long story short...not worth it. I had a lot of body work done on mine and it is a perfect top now, but wow. Check out the Sponsor interior and exterior section. ChaserAero looks really good and legit. I think this octane dude makes these in his moms basement.

Just purchase the real deal Mugen hardtop from Colin at Bulletproofautomotive. He took care of me and I highly recommend them. Don't cheap out on a hardtop because it's not worth the headache to get the fitment spot on. Save up for it and pull the trigger when you're ready.

oem ftw. There are a few fs in the classified section that include hardware. Go that route... oem looks way better imo.

Ok, I subscribe to Honda Tuning so is that where you fouknd chaseraero at? They had an ad for the top, hardware, and window for $1499 plus $150 shipping; how did you get it for that much?
