don't run the cusco cage and you wont have to worry about fitment and can concentrate on which works better for you. OEM doesn't have blind spots like the mugen, upholstered from the inside, a little more solid but heavier. It's a toss up IMO but I miss the one man'd top removal of the mugen carbon top, it was pretty damn light.

shameless thread jack...how much are you selling it for?

here we go...

Mugen Full CF &gt; OEM &gt; Mugen FRP &gt; Spoon/mooncraft.

im not a fan of the Spoon/Mooncraft one cause it changes how the car looks considerably. Even though im a Spoon *****.

wasn't tryin to thread jack, just stating that i should have bought a mugen one first instead of the oem one

prolly wont sell it till i find a good deal on the mugen one...theres a group buy on s2ki for the frp mugen for around 2500 or something...but then theres paint and i dont have extra money for that

AMUSE hardtop is pretty much just an OEM one in dry carbon with a lighter window. Its rare though.
