With Mugen, the quality is about 99.9% oem fitment. The carbon-fiber from Mugen is a lot ore stronger and durable than Seibon. I've seen cracked Seibon hoods in person. You can literally get on all fours on top of a Mugen hood without any problems. You will have no problems whatsoever with installing a Mugen hardtop, should be as easy as the oem hood (I've had both). Given the quality of Seibon's hoods and trunks, I would be wary of purchasing larger items like their CF hardtops or CF doors.
Many aftermarket products (including many JDM companies) do not produce high-quality products that are close to OEM Honda quality or fitment as Mugen or ASM.

I already order the Mugen CF one

I just have a quick question about how to pronounce Mugen.
From my limited knowledge after having only taken 1 Japanese class, I'd assume it's pronounced "Moo guh-ehn." Most people I know pronounce it "Mew-guh-ehn." Japanese doesn't have the sound Mew, unless it's the characters Mi and U together. I searched for some BMI videos, and it sounds like "moo guh-ehn" with the emphasis on the "gen" syllable.
This is also true for Tein springs. A lot of peeps say "Tee ehn" when it's actually "Teh ing." It's the words "Technical Innovation" combined.
I just prefer to have my facts straight. It doesn't sound to great if you thought ur Honda was pronounced "hyun duh-A," you know?

Thanks for clearing that up. I hear the accent is very different from how an American would say it. The stress is on the u of mugen. Like, "you?" without the emphasis on a the question sound.
Anyway, for those who don't know, Mugen just means unlimited, literally translated as "no limit."
