Sorry, I didn't see where you specified FRP. All I saw was fully optioned model, which by the math is $3,884 for CF.
I'm interested in learning more about this 'scratch' resistant surface for the lexan window. Like others, I am also curious about the quality of the included aftermarket seals versus oem.

Maybe you guys are not understanding why I did this project.
First, I made this project to provide a CF OEM style top at a cheaper lower price from Challenge. Almost half price.
Second, the frp project is an extra option I'm giving you to enjoy a low rate top. 1500+425 paint, 1925 and you can a OEM style top. Simple
Third, I think I f*ck up by giving you guys a OEM hardware option. By me doing this, you guys are basing your pricing very high and this is why I never did it or the mugen top. I did this to provide those who DO want to pay the extra money for the OEM feel all around.
My OEM seal option might just fly away.

The options are in fact just that, options. Not necessities. If people have the coin to spend on the OEM parts, let them and the others will deal with the aftermarket. It's always been that way. Thumbs up to you for putting this on the market, again, but from what I gather, the masses expected it to be cheaper than it is.

It's worth asking again... can anyone compare the quality of the OEM seals vs aftermarket seals? Unless the difference is absolutely astronomical, I can't see springing for the OEM option. The price on the glass and the paint seems very fair, IMO.

You should probably wait until the hardtop is released before asking.
