Default Help with Mugen Hardtop

Hey,

I got a Mugen hardtop that I haven't installed yet. I'm having trouble with the Japanese instructions. Does anybody know how to install the hardtop or know anywhere that can do it in the Bay Area? Thanks.

My hardtop is already painted. I painted the top part in silverstone and the side panels black. So the Mugen instructions are pretty much the same as the OEM hardtop?

I'm located in Fremont and btw I'm a girl!

Yeah it is pretty straight forward. If you have any questions specifically or want to take a look at mine just pm me. There aren't too many people in the bay that have this top.

Edit: Congrats Wo-man!

Only strange thing was Mugen sends complete replacement parts for the plastic side panels but they are built for RHD (Japanese cars have the gas filler notched on the opposite side) cars so you basically change out the brushes with your LHD sides and toss out the JDM side pannels, seems like a waste of money to me. This post will probably make more sense when you start the install.
