I got the fiberglass, and I'm having the interior painted berlina black so it looks real nice. The CF is awsome if you have the money for it. Got the car dropped off today so thanks again for all the replies!

is the mugen hardtop (the fiberglass one) the same weight as the OEM? cause I know the OEM is around 40...

and exactly its only worth it if you plan on tracking the car...which I do already...besides, if your only going into a store for a few minutes, I think it would be safe to have your car outside with no top...take off your radio face plate if you have an aftermarket one...everything else is pretty secure...but then this also varies greatly based on where you live...

by the time I have a hardtop, I will have also relocated a lightweight battery and will have a battery cut-off switch somewhere in the cabin...so people will have to find that before they can take the car...

I'm not sure how much the Mugen fiberglass hardtop weighs, but I can say from holding it, that it feels really light. my guess is that the Mugen fiberglass is slightly lighter then OEM because the window doesn't weigh as much, but this is just speculation. Once again thanks for all the replies!
