Replica hardtop?
If you cant afford oem, VIS/Mugen?Seibon, whichever one of these replicas are fine whether it's fiberglass or carbon fiber. Just dont get chaser. I dont like to bash companies, but 2 or 3 guys on s2ki purchased a hardtop from them, painted it, and wound up with massive spaces where water could enter everywhere. Chaser is not good. Your options are to save up and hope to find a decent oem one or go with one of the replicas previously mentioned.

After you pay to have the replica painted, sealed, window put in, and installed, it's practically as much as the OEM anyway.
Paint: $350
Window weld to install rear window: $35 (price includes caulking gun)
Then install is pretty easy if you have a helper so that is free.
Total: $1680
So you can even pay $200 for someone to install it for you, and you still spent less than $1900. Find me an OEM hardtop with perfect paint in the exact color you want for that price installed.
I am very happy with my VIS top, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cheaper nice top.




Thanks, you will not be dissapointed with this top. Also Chin from GBPerformance is one of the nicest vendors here on the forum. He has done a lot for me and was always there to answer questions. He is even going to give me a discount on any VIS item I want for doing that DIY write up for him. He also sent me the door seals for free to try out (I bought my top a little bit before the new door seals came out, and he paid $30 to ship them to me the next day), and he included 2 awesome metal Mugen licence plate frames for free with my hardtop. You can't really ask more than that from somebody.
