I don't think the mugen works at all with Amuse front ends. That's the one thing i hate about the Arvou car.

This this this. WISEGUY did as well. I usually can find my clear preference on things but on this I really can't decide.

Wiseguys worked well IMO because the car is black and the top CF and it all just kind of blends in and looks overall more like a coupe than a convertible with a HT. The Mugen tops always look best to me on Berlina cars than any other color. Go OEM first.

It is funny that I could probably have the Mugen CF and OEM hard tops for the same price as a complete ready to install Amuse top. So at least that is ruled out.

I am fully sold on the Mugen CF top looking awesome on a lighter colored car so I don't think that is a big influencer for me. Light colored car with dark wheels and dark top is pretty much all I need in an S2000.

I'm a massive mugen hardtop fan but I do have to agree in saying the OEM will pull off the look way better on your car.

I guess I'm the minority that thinks mugen hardtop goes very well with the amuse bumper?

I agree that I think it goes very well too. It goes better on track cars with a wing. On a more simple wingless street setup I think the OEM top looks best.

^I'm with these two. Mugen top goes great with an amuse bumper.
