Mugen Hardtop with glass?
I used the search function, but did not find anything about this subject...
OK so I am buying a VIS CF Mugen style hardtop and I know all the mugen hardtops don't come with a glass rear windows. I think the plexiglass will look bad over time and tiniting the glass seems like a hassle. I have a shop that told me they can make a copy of the plexiglass made with real automotive glass for the rear window. Has anyone done this before ? It seems like a good idea and I think would look a lot better. What do you guys think?

i am going to have a shop maybe make it for me and do the install... i want to have my rear window tinted.. i asked a shop to do the plexiglass but they said i would need some static tint so it stays on, but will it bubble up over time? does anyone have their rear plexiglass tinted with success?

the mugen window comes from the factory tinted pretty dark already. I don't know about the replicas though. I've had mine for quite some time, and I park outside 24/7 in Hawai'i sun and noticed no fading at all.

does the plexiglass look good as good as glass? does it get marked up easy? i rather not spend more money if i dont have to get the glass if it isnt that bad.
