Default Mugen rep hardtop install?

Does anyone have positive reputable experience installing a hardtop (mugen rep from RSG)? I'm looking to purchase one soon and if anyone can point me in the right direction or help me install this, brews and food and tip will be provided..
It shall come prepainted, with tinted lexan window, two piece rear brackets, and hard top front one-piece brackets + hardtop install accessories/seals/etc.

I am located in the 630 area.

Thank you all much in advance.

I have a forbidden replica. The install isn't as difficult as you'd think but a helping hand does come in handy (especially if you opt for the one-piece rear brackets).

Since you will be getting the 2-piece rear brackets, the install will be even easier.

If I was closer to ya, I'd be glad to help. Good luck!

I had the RSG Mugen top and did the install about 2 or 3 years ago. I spent most of the time removing all the soft top stuff from the car (I did the one piece). But looks like you won't be doing that so should be fairly easy. The hardest part for me was putting the insulation/seals together onto the hardtop and aligning it properly. I just can't get it right... Anyways also get a tube of ShinEtsu grease from the dealer. They aren't very expensive and is handy when doing the final alignment of the top.
