Not really. The fiberglass version isn't too bad compared to the OEM. The CF version is hella expensive.

It's probably better to describe the differences between the different HT models:

OEM is aluminum, a wide glass rear window, has a rear window defroster.
Mugen is fiberglass or CF, plastic rear window, no defroster.
J's? Dunno. The 3rd party hardtops are mostly similar to Mugen's.

Me? I prefer the OEM hardtop (and I own one).

 

Same here.

 

as opposed to not removable?

 

I thought the Mugen FRP hardtop was about $4k while the CF is $5k...not that big of a diff...unless my numbers are wrong. There's also the Mooncraft hardtop, but there's no production version of that yet, nor pricing...it's currently only available to race teams, but original. I like my OEM.

 

The local Honda dealer (who has been great from the start) just returned my payment for a hardtop. It seems that I was number 11 on the waiting list with Honda USA for a Suzuka Blue one and the hartops were back ordered because of the manufacturing delay in Japan. Their rough estimate was aprox. 6 months so they made the refund. Hopefully production will get going and tops will be available again.

 

That could be true. About a year or so ago I saw a price posted for a Mugen fiberglass HT and said to myself, that's not much different than the OEM MSRP.

I cannot remember if it was for a new or used one.

 

what parts are needed to get the hard top on your s2k.. do you need some hardtop it. I already have the hardtop latches and strikers. Is there anything else needed. Thanks

 

I think you need some mounting kit depending on what year it is.

 

yes you need a mounting kit based on your year - it's about three hundred bucks for the two brackets in the rear and a wiring harness for the rear window defrost

 

Amuse also makes a carbon fiber hardtop. $$$$$$
