Anyone know what kind of window seals he's using for his hardtop?

It's authentic Amuse hardtop, so whatever comes with that. I'd guess OEM but I really can't say for certain. I've never been able to check one out in person.

This is the shop that did the work on his car, and wooden floors in the photos are theirs:

Did you weld that extra side bar into the Mugen Street Cage? Kind of curious why you didn't get the Mugen Race cage that has the side bar anyway?

Thanks!

Well, the Mugen Race cage doesn't fit onto the stock roll bar mounting points, so I would had to have removed the rear of the interior, the rear package tray, etc, etc, etc,

So I thought it would be worth just modifying the street version...

I found the post referencing why he chose the Mugen street cage over the race cage. I'll go back and add it to my above posts.

How about just cut and paste the URL of this build thread here?! I couldn't find it using search in that forum.

OEM.

The car had just a hair over 2000 miles on it before going to the new owner if memory serves correctly. I uninstalled his original ohlins shocks for the shocks currently on the car.

The original owner probably drove 1500-1800 miles the entire time he owned the car if I had to guess. The paint on the rear bumper needed to be redone but otherwise the car is as immaculate as you would imagine. (or was, at least)

When did this car ever have Ohlins shocks? Didn't it just have the Spoon setup?

Not sure, but I definitely removed Ohlins shocks - kind of hard to mistake with the logo staring at your face all day. There have been a few subtle changes not documented after the build was complete. The underside of the car was as beautiful as the visible exterior. I don't know why he ever got rid of the axel exhaust setup or whatever brand that thing was. That + diffuser was just car porn.
