Explain why the plastic/lexan rear window would be ass in a couple of years. If it makes sense, I'll consider that argument. But, I've had mine for nearly 3 years now and it looks fine. It's a rear window, not front, so less likely to get hit by anything. It doesn't fold like your soft top plastic window. So why would it get damaged?

Seibon copying Mugen is one thing but to copy an existing Honda product is suicidal.
Pretty sure you can copy OEM parts as replacement parts pretty much at will.

Why because you think they'll get sued for copyright BS? When it comes to car parts most things are fair game to make equavalent parts. If they weren't then no non OEM parts would ever be allowed to be made(for repair reasons).

Manufacturing it out of CF would fulfill that.

I can't tell for sure, but it looks like the Amuse HT has a rear window defroster similar to the OEM type.
If that's true, the window must be glass.
Does anyone know for sure if the Amuse HT has a defroster and/or glass?
I'm also curious about the weight.
Is it possible to CF wrap an OEM HT, and have it look good?

The aluminum OEM hardtop with glass only weiths 39 lbs. Carbon fiber seems like a considerable expense to shed a few pounds, at best.

come on guys!
just get a black OEM hardtop and get some silver paint to make a checkerboard pattern.
Imagine all the prizes at the ricer shows you'll get. The ricer skanks will be all over you, too.
