I had both and from an appearance standpoint I would go with Mugen. Price standpoint I would go with OEM. Both were about the same price but tack on another $1000 for the Mugen to get in actually painted and on the car so your really looking at $3800 when its all said and done for the Mugen FRP while the OEM is at around $2800 complete/painted.
Its up to you.

With the Mugen you do have more headroom vs OEM and a lot more room for cages. Only because you have that vinyl layer in the OEM top that sits lower.

Blindspots are better with the OEM.

Up to you.

Good luck.

-They're about the same price.

- OEM has the rear window defroster, has better insulation, and comes painted.

-But the Mugen looks sooooooooooo bad ass.

What to do
if you are not going with crazy body kit, get oem
