Personally, I like the OEM if the car is somewhat stock looking (i.e.: no low offset wheels, body pieces/kits, etc) and that's why I went with the OEM. On the Mugen, I don't like the piece right behind the side windows (not sure I like it painted black, and looks like it's missing something when it's color matched). Although, I do love the shape. Also, don't think there's a defrost option for the Mugen, that's something I need where I live.

OEM has better visibility with a wrap around glass window and a finished interior that matches the rest of the car.

I'm leaning toward the CF mugen and I'm pretty much stock besides the OEM spoiler. The rear defroster would be nice but I can live without it since there really isn't sno/ice in Ga.

the mugen flows well with the car i think. the oem is just "pop now you have a hard top"
