The time is here and everything is ready to go. Group-buy has officially started and will be open for 2 weeks ONLY. Pices will go up to MSRP.
Many people have been asking why I didnt take pre-orders before and the anwser has always been because we wanted to make sure we had a tested quality product that was not rushed. It took us longer than expected but at the end of the day, we are sure our customers will be happy with the product we are selling.
Before we release this top to the public, we did a couple things:
1. Test fitted the top to make sure there was no gaps.
2. Had 3 test drivers testing road noise conditions and wind noise (FRP & CF)
3. Make sure after market hardware was used primarily since OEM hardware is expensive and sold out at mold dealers.
4. Carbon fiber weave quality is the same as our mugen tops.
5. Redesigned the inside to be smooth without having to use the OEM roof liner.
That being said, we are now ready to take pre-orders for these tops. Here is a break down of everything you guys need to know

Can vouch for Alberto and his superior customer service.
My top didnt come with the specifications I ordered and came with some cracks in paint, but couldn't tell until I accepted and opened the top; so alberto is going to cover my expenses on the paint repair.
My top fits amazing, no squeaks or creaks, however I screwed up on the seal so it leaks a bit and have a bit of wind noise.
Very satisfied with the product and can't wait to have it repainted!

I screwed up with the seals too for the side where you roll your windows up lol I should of known to install them last once the hardtop is installed, had to remove them and correct is hopefully the 3m tape is still good.
