I like the look of the OEM, but just my opinion. You will have to buy the kit that bolts on to the car. OEM kit I bought was around $500. It is a pretty easy DIY. I saved the money and did it myself...especially since they tech at the dealer made the comment that "its so expensive because we have to get in there and weld some parts on..." After knowing how to do the install, I decided to do it myself since it was obvious the service department was lost....
I also like the Mugen hardtop as a runner up to OEM. Will still need to purchase hardware and install on the car. Check www.hardtopguy.com for hardware prices. The kits can be bought other places as well...do a search.

OEM comes with all parts needed including the install kit. Don't be fooled by a super price you may run into for a few of the AM's. I would assume that any vendor on s2ki to be perfectly legit and you would get all parts needed for intallation. To my knowledge, all AM's come unpainted so that is something to consider when pricing. Used deals may be the best for saving a few bucks but you must insist than the rear strickers be included.

FYI- I bought the installation kit first through HTG with the understanding that I would buy the HT only at a latter time. This is a good way to go since you can have your car ready before you get the HT. Call whatever vendor you choose and try to make this same arrangement. The installation kit can easily be installed within two hours using only a couple of wrenchs and a screwdriver.
