Default Mugen Hard top or OEM Hard top?

Hi guys, been lurking around this forum for awhile and I finally bought a s2k. So excited now and since I am planning to drive this car in the winter (possibly) and I am debating should I go for the OEM hardtop or the Mugen hardtop??? And anyone know any good place I can get those???

Once again nice meeting you all

Congrats buddy, I loved my car (still do) when I first got it.

The OEM ones are pretty sick I think, you can get them from hardtopguy.

If you know anyone that works at Honda MFG Canada you can usually get them at cost also. I think they come pre painted.

Or... Man Up and try to brave the cold with the soft top!

Have fun w. the car man!

I like both, mugen is more extoic.

I'd personally go with OEm just b/c I think it looks cleaner.

oh and you can make it through the winters fine with a soft top, the cabin is small so the car heats up quickly

Thanks for the reply guys, yeah still debating. I love the oem one because of the defroster, but the mugen looks sexy...
I've asked dealership, they don't have it so where I can find the mugen one??? I try to avoid purchasing from the states if possible.

How is your car set up? The mugen top will look out of place if you have a stock ride.

And use www.hardtopguy.com. He has great prices and he is good to deal with. He is in the states but I have heard that he will drive the top across the border in person to your door step.

Plus the OEM is painted. Mugen is not.

mugen is ugly IMO. OEM looks sharp.
