Alright, it's coming time for me to buy another hard top. I had my oem one for about a year, and sold it due to my financials. Well im in the position where i can buy another top, and i'm debating mugen replica ( such as a c-west ) or oem.

All i really want to know, is what are the cons of the mugen replica? How is the fitment, how is the rattle, and is there anything else i should consider before purchasing it?

Real mugen is out of the question, i dont want to spend that much on a hard top.

I know the replicas obviously don't have headliner. So how's the fitment, and does it rattle bad, or is it pretty good like an oem?

thanks in advance.

if i did purchase a replica, i would be purchasing it from octane motorsports, c-west hardtop. The price would be around $1800 w/ALL HARDWARE INCLUDING WINDOW. Price does not include shipping, as i could easily just pick it up.

i've heard good things about the VIS mugen replica top. PM -GunShow- and he can get you a good deal (better than 1800 ^)

That's what I've got...Layered in C/F. Top is pretty good quality but the seals that came with it are crap. I had to beef up my window seals and replace the seal that the back end sits on and another seal that meets the windshield(my lord was that one small, no wonder I was getting lots of wind noise from that area ).

There's also another guy that just got in the business in replica mugen hardtops...His are Dry Carbon. PM him for more info if interested...S2ki handle is S2K1985(Jaydan).

JayJones

why did you have to replace the back seal that the H.T. Sits on? and yes, where di you purchase all your seals?
