Should I get a hardtop?
My plastic soft top is ripped, and has been screwed up ever since I got my car. It doesn't close properly and has lots of wind noise even with the hardtop striker.
I am thinking if I should get a Mugen Style Dry carbon hardtop, and if I do I would remove the soft top completely and bolt the hardtop down permanently.
Pro:
Hardtop looks good
weight saving (Hardtop itself is less then 20lb. Soft top + motor weights at least 60+lb)
aerodynamic
the rear wing will finally be useful
reduce interior noise
Con:
$$$$$
No more convertible
So what are your opinions?

Although I voted yes (cuz I love the way the mugen tops look), personally I would miss the topdown. For me it would have to be removeable..., a winch setup in the garage or something where the top could be lifted off.

Since you have a daily driver I think you should get a HT only if you are planning to track with it. Otherwise, I agree with Dave, I think it does look nice, but I'd keep it removable!

I say hardtop, but a hardtop isn't 20lbs... even carbon fiber ones aren't that light. Theres a new carbon OEM top thats just came out and it weighs 25 lbs i believe.
Anyway, for tracking and overall looks i would say hardtop. When you go cruising you can just get a buddy to come to ur place and help you it off.
bad thing is its stupidly expensive... =(
any plans to get a harddog roll bar?
