Hey guys,
New to the S2000 scene and I'm looking to pick one up within the next month or so. I would like to know if:
1. Is the OEM Honda hardtop available directly from Honda dealerships?
2. Are the Mugen replica hardtops on eBay that sell for approximately $1,000 any good? I know that replicas are for the most part garbage, but, the quality in the pictures actually looks pretty darn good. If it isn't perfect fitment I don't want it, pretty much...
3. Where can I find authentic Mugen hardtops for a fair price, and is there any site in the world that sells already-color-matched Mugen hardtops? ;p (Far shot, I know)

Thanks ahead guys, this info. will be very helpful.

1. Yes, you can buy the OEM hardtops from the dealership, but they will usually charge you why over what you can get them for else where. Ganley honda or hartopguy.com would be where to get one from. I purchased mine from Ganley for $2800 shipped.
2. I can't really speak for the quality of the replica Mugen tops, but remember you have to purchase a rear window and also all the mounting and catches etc. Plus you have to paint it.
3. You can purchase the Mugen hardtop from several of the vendors from this site.
Bulletproof has both types of Mugen hardtops.

I just ordered the real Mugen from KingMotorsports and comes with everything you need. Best part, I don't have to worry about how it fits.
Only down side it takes about 45 days to get it.

 

Thanks. I love the Mugen hardtop and wouldn't mind dishing out the money for an authentic but it just pisses me off that I have to get and get it color matched. I'm stuck trying to decide what color I want my S2K in and I'm thinking white, it'll be easier to color match if I'm not mistaken, I really want the Mugen hardtop I think it's beautiful. If I get it and all goes well I'll find this post and bring it back to life with pics of my new ride. =) Thanks again guys.

 

What is the issue about having a piece painted?

I doubt that there are enough of these tops sold to warrant Mugen selling them in various colors not to mention this is another step in their manufacturing process.

 

The replicas aren't bad if you have some skills ... mines a replica.... but I get compliments constantly.....

It took a while to get it there.... but I'm happy with my choice.... and I learned alot....

 

Which replica do you have?

 

I believe that he has the C Wings.
