Default oem hardtop

this is a poll basicly but...it wont let me make it a poll i guess i havent had a s long enough :/or something but any ways should a stay with my oem top..



or try and trade for a mugen(NO REPLICA) i know the oems are a lil more rare since production has stopped but a love the look of mugen and my plans are black trunk black hardtop and carbon hood black except the raised parts to show some carbon

sooo OEM OR MUGEN ...all thoughts would be great and i would be using oem hardware on the mugen for best fitment just for the record

Oem is better, u get rear glass defroster and padding for interior. Mugen doesn't come with rear defroster option and doesn't come with padding. If you want a lighter hardtop for track or looks get mugen, keep the oem top or you'll regret it.

If you like the Mugen look better go for it, I would like to run with both OEM and my present Mugen style depending on my mood, still trying to get an OEM over here in Australia...they rarely stay in the market very long and av. 3.5 - 4k.

I would keep the OEM since it has the rear defogger, and the inside looks better than the shell of the mugen. If you like the look of the mugen better, go for it. If you would rather have a clean look and have a rear defogger keep the OEM. This is just my opinion though.

It's what you want more man.

dont get a black trunk, and top, and then get CF hood....imo, that looks nasty....CF all/maybe not the hardtop, but that would look better. it bothers me seeing the unmatched paint....?

but keep the OEM. looks so nice.

possibly, but i doubt it.

maybe a trade plus some cash on your part. not too many people part with their authentic mugen tops.
