just wondering how many latches hold down the hardtop? also how hard is it to install the hardware? i asked the dealer and they quoted me something like 6 hours to install the hardware... i sort of find that hard to believe, but you never know.....

also for all you mugen ****** out there.... anyone know the weight of the non-cf top?

CF = 34 pounds
Fiberglass = 44 pounds

King says 4 hours install time.

 

After looking at the hardware kit when we bought ours and the top was offered to us, im saying that their 6 hour estimate is a freakin' joke. Just looking at the pieces that come with it, it looks like maybe a 1-2 hour job, if your know what your doing. I could be wrong, but just looking at it...even 4 hours seems like alot.

 

humm 10lbs differnt from the cf and non-cf.. hummm.. is it worth the extra 2g's.. for a cf..?? hahaha......

and as for the estimate for the hardware.. i thought the same thing when they told me 6 hours.... i was like uhhhhhh.. 6 hours for a couple of hindges?? i dunno.... maybe i'll come with an installation manual.. ..... so i can do it myself..

 

Here's installation instructions, just choose your year:

about a hour with two people, very easy, made sure the surface is flate, if not the latch will not closed

 

2 latches in the front and 2 in the rear. it takes about 2 hours. first time installers 4-5 hours.

Don't believe the dealer they are full of bs. The dealer is only good for the oem parts.

 

thanks for the info guys... the instalation looks quite simple.... i should be able to do it....

 

is there any where else to get a hard top besides
honda
and mugen (king)

 

Ebay...lol.

 

i would like something of quality no junk....

 

I think the one's on Ebay are just people that get them wholesale from honda, mark them up a little and then charge alot for having them painted for you...not sure, but im pretty sure that only Honda and King Motorsports (mugen) actually manufacture these hard tops, so i dont think there is a "Cheap" one persay that you will find...

You just asked where to get them...im sure theres thousands of places online to get them. Other companies that MAKE them though, i think your limited to those listed by yourself...

 

thanks

 

wat about mooncraft or watever? but i dont think they sell it
