Both black S2000's have Mugen wings on them....mine (the one with the MF10's) is the 3 pc. AP1 spoiler, where as the other black (the one with the silver CE28N) car has the Mugen SS GT wing.

In my opinion the hardtop takes away from the aggressive look of the car. Just makes it seem more "Miata-ish".

Not saying the soft-top is more aggressive, but I just don't think it contributes well to the stance and look of the car.

No offense, but if anything, a convertible is takes away the sportiness of a car. Definately less sportier/aggressive than their "coupe" counterpart. (Although, all the F1 cars are "convertibles." )

Caliper overhang is 2" from brake rotor friction surface, so you'll need 2" of clearance from the brake rotor friction surface to the inner spoke of the wheel. LE28n's have a different spoke offset than CE28n's. IM sent.

MSRP is $2995

H and A accessories sells 'em for around $2490, plus shipping, plus the cost of a storage rack and cover if you you desire. Which will cost another $200 - $600

"Woah, that S2000 looks sweet but it would look better if instead of open air above your head, you had a thick piece of vinyl..."

Anyhow, I guess everyone's entitled to their own opinion and why you get to pick your own car. That's why Honda doesn't just sell S2000s and NSXs but also Civics and Accords

Soft top, Hard top? You mean these cars have tops? HAHA, just kidding. My top stays down, ALL the time. Although, I think the hard top looks great, I personally would never use it. But, I do have one question. Will all tops fit all years, or is 2004 different?

running the OEM or mugen hardtop will generally increase your top speed before braking on a straight-a-way by about 6-9mph depending on the track. Worth it? Depends I guess.

The hardtop is pricey but it makes the car look hot, especially if you have wheels, a drop and exhaust.
