oem goes to http://www.hardtopguy.com

aftermarket, you have seibon or mugen. the mugen comes in fibergalss for 3k or carbon fiber for 5k. the seibon is a mugen cf copy for 3k

 

thanks..... 1 more question... on the 02 and up s2k's the rear glass window came in...... can you tint that rear window and not worry about anything ?? will the tint hold ?

 

i have tint on mine and no problems...

 

mine is tinted as well, it has held with no problems. just find a good shop to do it

 

shoot me an email if your interested in either a mugen or seibon. thanks

 

Hardtopguy sells them at a resonable price, but unless your in Ohio (or were ever he is) you'll have to pay shipping fees. These things get shipped in a crate wich is rather expensive. In the end, you'll probably pay the same at your local Honda dealership.

Price h-tguy quoted me for=$2500 plus shipping/hardware/tax.
Price Gardena Honda quoted me for=$3000 installed

ok i know you can tint the rear window on the 02 and up s2k's due to the glass..... but what about the 00-01 s2k?? will tint cling to the windown stay ??

 

anyone ???

 

doesn't hold from what i have seen because the plastic folds when the top goes down on the 00-01. tint doesn't seem to like that much

 

damn..... oh well hard top here i come !!!!!!

 

good choice

 

do the seibons come with glass and everything to install them??

 

make a friend at honda and you should see some awesome pricing. I love the OEM hardtop, more headroom, awesome fit, and paint matched.

 

well hello new FRIEND.... i see your in illinois.. im in wisconsin..such a short trip !!! LOL what kinda prices can i expect tho ? through honda

I have my plastic back glass on my 00 Berlina tinted. I used cling on tint from advance auto and it seems to be working fine .

 

I have the oem hardtop, I have nothing but praise for it.

 

pics would be awsome !! yO

 

I bought my Berlina AP1 with the hardtop. Give me a few, I'll post some pics of the hardtop, once I find a host.

 

Ask and you shall receive........

 

I never said anything about it being 56k friendly... Enjoy... The white one is my buddy's, in case you wanted to see the white OEM hardtop.


If you have a hookup at honda you're looking at about $2700-2800 plus shipping.

If you're considering an aftermarket, check out http://www.AEIperformance.com and just shoot them an email, they have some awesome pricing on SEIBON. Tell them that Eugene referred you and he'll take care of you. BTW: I am not gaining anything out of the referal.

 

you want pix of the oem hard top Suuuuure







and here is my last one from limerock raceway last year.




The OEM hard top is one my favorite things that I've ever gotten for my car. it kills some of the blind spots when driving in reverse. kills a large amount of road noise. and in my opinion just looks real slick.

I highly recommend one.

 

Sorry I am new to the honda world... anyway, are the hard tops removable?
