With your mugen top, how is the rear window on it? Any special treatment, scratch easily? anything else?

to all others, thank you very much for the input that actually helped out.

OEM is what I prefer. Mugen is nice but I think it's styling is a little over the top.

Weight DOES play a big factor though.......

Just to let you guys know, the Mugen hardtop CFRP or FRP only weighs slightly lighter than the OEM hardtop. I'd stick with the OEM aluminum hardtop instead. It's also used in competition as much as the Mugen version.

Yes. It isnt very noticeable unless you are looking at it from the inside on a BRIGHT day.

Not really, it's almost like carbon fiber coating, you'll see swirls once in a while, but I use plastic cleaner and polish and it turns out like new again.

I was wondering how much the Mugen weighed.
Oem is about 44 lbs.
