S2000 Mugen Hardtop
so im looking into hardtops and im curious what you guys have...
so im going to get a M style top but is the price worth it for authentic?
C west, VIS both make them for half the price, but has anyone had any problems fitment wise?
i heard that the windows arent perfect but thats the same with mugen, but mugen gives you spacers for that...does VIS and Cwest do the same?
im gettin the FRP version so ill be painting it. so qualitly wont mean much since its gonna be covered with paint.
so anyone who owns Cwest or VIS or authentic mugen please have your say!
pictures would help also
dont hold back on any bad opinions!

I recently bought a C-Wings Hardtop from a seller here, just this past saturday I had it painted. Let me tell you this, I hope I just got a bad mold from the batch cause it needed some attention. The edges were rough and a few weird wave like on the roof. Thankfully it was all taken care of by my bodyshop guy and it looks outstanding.
His words "The hardtop isn't entirely bad, its actually very good compare to many many fiberglass pieces he gets from people to put on their cars"
The install wasn't bad either, real easy to mount up. I do get some wind noise on a windy day on the top front, but that maybe because of my OEM stock strikers that are already worn out. I'll be getting the hardtop strikers from work soon.
The rear window was installed by a professional auto window guy. He charged me 40 bucks for the install, but even then he used his own window seal cause the seal that was included with the hardware ****ing sucks. Its really tough plastic molding that doesn't form well with the window corners. So don't even bother with it, just have a professional guy use their own window trim and your good to go.
Over all the I give the hardtop a 8/10

I bought my Mugen used, so I can't qoute on putting it together (window/seals) But, the quality is top notch, fitment is perfect. I'd honestly give it a 10/10. Wish I could say the same about my shine bumper.
