hi all..
its been about 2week since i owned this s2k..

im thinking about getting a hardtop...
i wanted oem.. but then.. i thought about getting a replica ones..
such as chaser.. i figured.. they are afforable.. but my question is
is it worth it?
i heard replica hartops make so much noise..
if i get a replica hartop.. is there any way i can reduce the noise??
and how are the fits?

thank you for reading it btw

 

ive had a oem top and a replica chaser mugen replica ....oem all the way i regreat the trade cause i can NOT get this chaser to fit right.
ive heard vis makes replicas pretty well. i just just bought a vis hood and bumper. hood fits amazing havent got to the bumper yet but.. so far vis seems to be a great place to get parts from. if your going to buy soon chin is the man to talk to let me know if you need his info

 

I have had a mugen style for over a year. As long as fittment is good, there is alot you can do to get the adjustments right. From what I've read the vis HT is good on fit now as well. Even has better seals. Noise is defeatable depending on the HT.
Oem hardwares is the way to go IMO

xoz i need help getting my top fitment great :/ im getting all my parts painted on the 5th. should i just pay the shop to put the top on and say i want it to be perfect or what? im going to buy oem hardware in the future so i can take off teh hardtop when i want using this chaser hardware sucks!

 

It's not that hard to do yourself save some $s.
I posted up my DIY in the interiors forum.

 

where would you say the best place to get seals is? i want to replace them all and the window with real glass. is your hardtop a chaser?

 

Read the DIY a see if you can source the seals locally from the pics, mines a Seibon CF Mugen Style from China. I'd stay away from Chaser and get the VIS (From what I've read)

I can send the seals to you if you can't get them locally.

 

Do NOT get a Chaser top. They fit like poo, and they are all nice to you until they get your money, then they turn into asswipes. Trust me i've done business with them before, and I had to get yelled at and called a bunch of names just to get a PARTIAL refund from them. Do not do it, you will regret it.


I just got the VIS hardtop from gbperformance on here, and it fits perfectly. No gaps, leaks, anything. They also come with nice upgraded seals that you wont have to just replace. If you are still looking for very nice replacement seals, spyder562 on here makes hardware kits for the mugen style tops and is known to have the best. If you want the replica top, get the VIS one, if not, get an OEM.

 

ive had oem but now i have a chaser replica:/

 

OEM hardtop 10000000000000x better than a Chaser top

Wait, were you the one that traded your OEM top for the double sided carbon Chaser top? I remember posting in a thread and I think it was you saying you would trade or something.
