Ooh, you showed your license plate!

Here is an example of C-Wings fitment.

Is that a Buddy Club Spec II muffler?

I've tried the C-Wings CF and FRP hardtops on my car to check fitting. It's surprisingly good. It's not perfect, but probably good enough depending on how anal you are.

If you're getting an awesome deal on the FRP C-Wings, then I'd probably get it. Otherwise, I'd personally buy a Mugen. The fitment will be perfect. Most importantly, you'll get all the parts you need. Buying an C-wing top, then buying all the hardware, then getting the rear window installed wasn't that much cheaper than the mugen..maybe $200?

The C-Wings hardtops that I have seen all fit perfectly. I wouldn't rock one if they didn't.

I've been looking to get this hardtop when I get my S2K but i checked out the for sale thread too and the fitment looks off in one of the pictures. Look at the gap difference between the left and right side. I guess everyones definition of perfect is different. I imagine to take the hardtop on and off and to adjust it would be a pain without latches.

What you perceive as "off" has absolutely nothing to do with the hardtop fitment, nothing.

No latches How does that work? The last time I checked, my hardtop had latches. In fact, the gap on the passenger side is as a result of one of the latches not being tightened!

hmm. I wanted to get a cwings before i got my mugen. I like the hardware kit. Do you sell that separately? Would be good to prevent hardtop theft...
