I am seriously looking into getting a hardtop for the S2k. I need some insight on which to buy. The Honda Hardtop, or the Mugen hardtop. Both seem good, the mugen was developed with the help of a wind tunnel, but im more interested in fit and finish, getting rid of that damn blindspot, and good looks. I anyone out there in Stook land has one of the above mentioned hardtops and would like to spout off about it, I would love to hear it. Thanks, and by the way, I hit 700 miles and decided to gunn it. Whatch out, the s2k defenitly has 2 different faces.

I got to see the Mugen at Asheville and it is sweet...especially on black. Very cool looking. Fit and finish looked great and from what I understand, it cost less, weighs less and looks better. For what it's worth...

Does Mugan have defroster? I have the Honda Hardtop and it works pretty good. And I think you can see better on the Honda one because the glass area in Honda is larger thent the Mugan.
