How much is the factory hardtop weight anyway? because you can get the real mugen hardtop (not CF one) for around $2800 and it weights 44 lbs. I also think it looks better than the factory one. IMHO.
OEM is about $2600 ready to go.
Mugen FRP is $2800 plus tax, plus shipping, and another $500-$600 to paint it so when its all said and done its close to $4000.
So OEM is the cheaper more reasonable route to go..

Besides, it's got no rear glass, no rear defroster and is the inside even finished? I don't think so. Also, it comes with no mounting hardware. Guess how much that's gonna cost you from Honda?

That doesnt mean its cheaper.. Its actually more expensive to actually paint it and install.

oem hardtop (from hardtopguy) is $2995 + ~$300 shipping
Mugen hardtop (from king) is $2800 + ~$300 shipping
There is NO TAX on either if purchased out of state.
You have to paint the mugen top - but cmon - $500-600???
In another thread, you mentioned you could get a whole car painted for $800. I personally can get the mugen painted for $250
So, OEM is $3295 and Mugen is $3350
I may be off a little here and there, but I think thats a more realistic difference than the $1400 you quoted!
