Default Replica Mugen Hard Top.. Quality?

Just wondering if anyone is running a fiberglass replica and has comments on how well they Fit.
If so, where did you pic it up.
Thinking of going replica, since its nearly half the price, can always be tweaked if fitment isnt too bad.

Pics please as well.

supposed is the key word.

c-wings is supposed to be the worse fitting hardtop for the s2000. seibon is supposed to fit good, but some people have gotten crappy baches from them also.

in all honesty, nothing fits 100% like a authentic mugen top or oem top. i mean even the spoon mooncraft authentic hardtop is said to fit like junk.

Funny thing is that I have seen Mugen hardtops that don't fit perfectly. A friend of mine's door would hit his Mugen hardtop when he would close it. I have also seen at least three Mugen hardtops exhibit gel coat failure which in turn causes large unsightly bubbles in the paint.

For the most part however, ill fitting hardtops across the board are due to poor installation since the molds probably don't change.
