All I can say is... WOW. This is an amazing piece. All carbon fiber, 35lb. It has obviously been shaped in the wind tunnel as there is a very deliberate indentation in the middle of the roof. Also, there are lines on the edges of the roof that flow much like the hood of the S2000. It really looks amazing. There's a good chance we'll be getting one for our Yellow S2K.

Wow... all I can say is wow:


A look at the carbon fiber exposed on the side (repeats on the inside), and the aerodynamic aids in the inside:

I like the look of this more than the factory top, it's way lighter - and a bargain at the price. It's entirely made of cabon fiber, and uses the stock Honda mounting points. Sweet.

 

Questions:

1.) How much does it cost?

2.) Who can I order it from?

3.) Can I get it painted in matching Formula Red from the retailer?

4.) I have a 2000 model S2000, so where do I get a mounting points kit for it?

 

Ditto and GOD DAMN! That thing is awesome. Tell me where and how much?

 

Hi All,
The Mugen Carbon Fiber Hardtop can be purchased directly through us. The projected price is in the $5000.00 range. All OEM mounting hardware is included as are OEM window seals etc. The hardtops are furnished in un-painted form only. Any local body shop can color match it to the exact hue of your car.

As always, feel free to contact us (262-593-2800) if you have any questions..

Have a great weekend!!

 

But the stock Honda hard top seems to have a much bigger rear window opening. One reason I'd consider a hard top is to avoid the large blind spots caused by the rag top.

 

I have to differ and say i think it looks strangely weird, like something designed for a new Batmobile roadster. Of course choice is good, but i prefer the Honda hardtop.

 

damn, that does look nicer than the honda hardtop. But 5G's is a little up there. Maybe we can get a GB and see what kinda price on that, whaddya say stooker's.

 

While $5k might seem expensive, it seems like a bargain after seeing the top. Carbon Fiber is expensive. If given the choice between $3500 for the Honda one, and $5000 plus paint for the Mugen... it's a no-brainer. AFTER seeing it in person, that is.

As for the visibility concerns, Scott showed me how it won't differ from the Honda unit, because the Mugen's glass starts at the exact angle where the passenger roll hoop is. The roll hoop would block your view anyway.

This hardtop is worth every penny and-then-some. If you are anywhere near Sullivan, WI... you owe it to yourself to stop by and see the workmanship in person. It's gorgeous.

 

Wow! Thanks for the post!

 

The styling is well... unique, leaning towards ugly.

And I don't quite understand why it's got that high-gloss acrylic coating on it. A matte acrylic finish (raw carbon fiber look) would look more like more the stock softtop.

I'm also not too enthused by the plastic rear window. One of the reasons I'd like a hardtop is to get rid of an easily scratched plastic window.

For racing though, it might be just the thing.
