Default Hardtop Mugen replica

How do you guys feel about these replica hardtops?

They are so much cheaper and still keep that nice look. Has anyone purchased one of these from ebay?

With a glass rear you can get it for about 1300. Not bad right?

Or should I just replace my soft top with glass?

BTW just got a used salvaged title S2001 for 9K with 50K miles.

I am not sure if this is the same, but some require you remove the soft top since they bolt on, they do not use latches like the OEM. Make sure your aware of what your getting into before you buy.

That top comes with no hardware at all. The kit is $900 and if you want a glass window that's an extra $200. There is info on the forum about replicas. But just add the top plus the hardware and you are looking at a bit more $$$

Thanks for the responses. It seems like the cwings is very popular. I did have one final question!!!

**My soft top is damaged, ripped and the plastic window looks like my fishtank when you don't clean it for 5 months!!!

Can I just remove the whole softtop or can I just leave it on there and the hardtop just covers over it?

Either or, it's a personal preference.
