i suppose it looks like any sporty shape, lol. Someone mentioned porsche to me, and it's stuck ever since.
How much will different rooves set u back?
accurate prices a bit difficult these days as some are discontinued.
OEM $3000 and up for a second hand one, these are serious hot property right now.
MUGEN gen (Carbon) $7500 and up new one, about $4500 and up for a used one
MUGEN gen (FRP) $4000 and up new unpainted.
SPooN Hardtop $5000 and up new
Seibon Mugen rep (carbon) $4500 and up new.
There are some brands now in the states, i found a place $1800US for Mugen rep in FRP not carbon, includes fitting kit and they were charging $900US for shippage. Not a bad deal now that the US dollar ain't doing so good.
Delivery is not included, in these prices. But factor approx $1000 for delivery and postal insurance.
I find the OEM one looks really hideous =/
i have found plenty on ebay from $1-3000.00 are they not original?
oh and thats of the mugen one
Amuse is the only manufacturer that "makes" a carbon fibre OEM hardtop. I say "makes" because I've only heard of one person (in the states) named Diez that has one and it cost like $6k US.
The moonrock hardtop looks crap as.
Mugen is nice but expensive.(real)
You can see the Amuse Hardtop at around 12 Minutes.

I much prefer the OEM over the others for a couple of reasons:
OEM fit and finish
Better rear vision
Cheaper
Availability in Australia when found second/hand.
Demister
If its too good to be true, it usually isQuote:

Thats not entirely true... Amuse aside (as mentioned), there is a JDM company that makes OEM replicas in FRP, I've seen a few pop up for sale on Yahoo but the prices they go for doesn't warrant their additional cost in shipping and expenses (130,000Y + expenses one sold for a few days ago).Quote:

The amuse hardtop is different to the OEM hardtop, the window doesn't go all the way to the bottom. It's the best looking hardtop IMO, it's entirely dry carbon and made to order. One of the reason why people don't get it is because it requires the soft top removal to fit it, and you can order it from here.Quote:

LOL my bad, I meant 'Mooncraft' not moonrock =.= (I think I have an unhealthy obsession with that colour ever since that thread on the guy respraying his widebody s2k).
Yeah the Amuse h/t uses an MR2 window or something?
Either way this thing is badass ... at $8400 US not including shipping or hardware only true ballers can buy one lol
