Any experience with them? I am sure people have tried them, but people here always talk about OEM, mugen, amuse, etc. Not trying to cheap out, but I will only be using the hardtop 3-4 months out of the year and cant justify 2-4000$ for a hardtop.

 

the seibon hardtop is a mugen replica and costs 3k without hardware, even the replica's cost $$$.

 

I dont want a CF hardtop.. for example this hardtop is 799 + 850 for hardware kit and 250 for shipping.

Stay away from that company. Lots of people have had problems with them and their products.

 

The reason everyone recomends OEM, mugen, amuse is due to its good feedback from owners who are happy with the product. Not saying that replicas won't show true to its name, just saying you pay for what you get. Replicas/used hardtop would be my route if I was going for the "only few month of no topdown thing"

 

Check this hardtop out.

People who have it seem to be very satisfied with it. Whenever I order a hardtop (hopefully before winter if I have the spare cash) I am pretty certain I will be ordering that hardtop.

 

i'd get a used oem one. usually they run about two grand, be on the lookout for a local member selling one...

 

just pick up an OEM one if you are just looking for winter coverage.

the two best replicas are the VIS and Seibon...

I have a Seibon and only had minor issue with the mounting hole for the front striker not lining up, but it was an easy fix.
Otherwise, fits perfectly, rattles less than a friend's CR top...

I can't provide any feedback on the VIS... but, then again, that's why I made that hardtop thread.

 

i kid you not...

a buddy of mine with a fully spoon'ed out s2000 said that even the spoon replica hardtops are getting better than his authentic spoon top

what annoys me, is how in the uk, you can buy a replica seibon mooncraft in full carbon.

can you even buy a spoon one in full carbon.. don't think so
