Default question on mugen hard-top

I'm thinking of which hard-top to get, OEM or Mugen. How does the underside of the Mugen Hard-top look? would the mugen hard-top underside match the interior of the car? I wonder if any of u guys have pics of the underside of both OEM and Mugen hard-top.

Thanks
Jack

I believe that the underside of the Mugen is just unfinished fiberglass that will need to be painted. I've seen one for sale before that had a custom roofliner fitted. It looked very nice.

Why can't anyone modify the Mugen top to have heated glass

because it is not glass. But if fogging is a problem and the only reason you are not buying the Mugen hardtop. Just buy no fog and apply it to the rear window.

OEM will have less road noise of course. Plus you will have way more rear visibility. But I love the look of the Mugen tops. I will be getting one soon. Plus I believe that the Mugen are easier to install. I think....

I've had both tops and really didn't notice much difference in either in keeping noise out. Granted, I have a loud car to begin with, so that really doesn't make me the best test subject.
