If I were to pay you to paint the hardtop and wanted it to look like it had OEM door moldings, would you be able to do this for me? Also how well do you think it would come out, do you have any examples of what it might look like? Would you just use a Flat color paint?
If I order the glass window, will the hardtop still come with an extra lexan window?
One more thing, do you think if I modified the inner side I would be able to fit the OEM roof lining?
The hardtop is very fair priced for something that is this light, this high of quality, and this rare. The Upgrades are very reasonable, the only thing I found cheaper on majestic were the window seals for $222, everything else you are offering is considerably cheaper. Great job, please keep up the good work and thanks alot for having this option of a hardtop.

1. It's half the price of a brand new OEM one which is not being manufactured
2. It's lighter(which makes handling its awkward size much easier)
3. It has a lexan rear window(which has its advantages and disadvantages)
4. It's easier to obtain than an original one,and you can get it shipped to your door
5. It might be stronger than an OEM one
6. It can be painted to match your car before you even see the thing, that way your not teasing yourself and dropping the thing off at the body shop, you can just slap the thing on.

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.

wow, this thread was ridiculously busy before the price was released, apparently everyone is sad that this hardtop is actually going to cost money. I think the price is justified and reasonable.
