One of the best 2-tone implementations out there.

for me a spoon hardtop doesn't need much, a good height stance and wheels should give the spoon hardtop a really nice overall apperance to your S. But what I see as annoyance would be taking off the rear lid to open up the trunk. I use the trunk a lot because my car is my DD.

Spoon top looks better IMO. I guess i'm biased since I have one. But I fell in love with that look way before I bought the s2.

I like Spoon top. Did you have to sacrafic the trunk for it?

Once you take off the quick release latches you can pivot the rear half up and hold it up with the trunk. You do have to hold the trunk up tho because it can't support the weight of the hardtop.






Here you can see the weather stripping between the two sections.


Weather stripping on the rear section.

i'd say OEM hardtop since you only have the amuse style lip. imho you need more extreme body mods to pull off the Mugen or Spoon hardtop. IMHO.

What hardtop does the black S have up there? I tried to include the picture but i couldnt. Im also looking to possibly get a hardtop in the near future, especially with rain coming up soon. Is it easy to take off and put back on? I see many people have some trouble with them, what could I do to eliminate any problems? Any help can be useful.

Thanks!
