Im thinking about getting a Mugen type HT but Im wondering if Im going to have a fitment problem with my Hard Dog roll bar....I have just less than 1" clearance w/ the soft top. Also: Do you have any visibility issues
with the 'blind spot' that the HT creates, particularly on the passenger side? And finally..could I maybe come look at your car and sit in it to see if it will work for me? Thanks guys

 

I would have thought that having a hardtop, seeing that the window size is much bigger, there would be less of a blind spot compared to the soft top.

 

you wont have fitment issue with mugen hardtop and hard dog roll bar

 

i think the soft top has more of a blind spot, compared to a hard top

 

oem hardtop is def a lot more visibility over the soft top
I would say the mugen hardtop is on par with the soft top

 

Thanks for the feedback guys...much appreciated. I just cant decide if I can deal with a HT...soon as I put my ST up I get claustrophobia....

 

Best cure for a blind spot and claustrophobia is NO top!

 

i have a mugen ht on right now, its about the same as a soft top, but the rear window has jsut a tad more visibility. honestly, the ht is just for looks. it doesnt really take the noise out either unless you roll with a OEM top or bring it to a shop that will take their time putting seals on plus carpeting the whole inside to keep the noise out. its only my opinion, i cant say for others. =x

 

i have had oem, authentic mugen, replica mugen, they all dampen the noise level by a lot compared to the soft top.

 

and also if you have a system, it sounds a whole lot better since sound isn't leaking through the soft top (bass sounds better).
