Default Mugen Hardtop

My question is it is cold and snowing here. And i want to get the Mugen Fiberglass hardtop for the winter months. I know it doesn't have the rear defrosters but i can deal with it. My main concern is head room. I'm 6'3" and i have about an inch of head room with the soft top up. My question is does the hardtop take away any headroom or is it the same? I looks more aerodynamic than our soft tops. And it's looks badass IMO.

Please any one with this top let me know. I don't want to buy this then have to sell it because my head is rubbing the top.

Thanks

The headroom is about the same as having the soft top up. You lose the soft top support rails, so there may be more room. At one point in the top is seems to sit higher than the soft top.

You should be fine

You'll also love the Mugen top!

Thanks. I'll be ordering it up soon. Another questions is am i better of buying from KingMotorsports or Inlinefour? Or are there any other venders associated with S2ki that i can buy from. I rather deal with someone that is a vender from here.

The price difference between King and another vendor is not much. King supplies everyone in the United States. When I was buying mine King actually came out lower than most of the places I spoke to with the next lowest being Bulletproof with a nasty shipping charge that ended up making them more expensive. I ended up buying mine used.

If you buy it from King you'll have straight backing and true updates - whereas everyone else has to call King to find out what is going on.

There may be some exceptions: Tech2Motorsports and maybe even Bulletproof, but as far as Mugen board sponsors go - we appreciate you trying to help S2Ki but King has the American monopoly.

If someone knows different, please post up and correct me.
