My hardtop comes off in about 20 minutes, it's not an OEM top so its not heavy as sin. I can move it and install it myself. I don't mind it. I enjoy the top being down too, but not with the "HARD 247" plates haha.
My OEM hardtop isn't "heavy as sin". It's aluminum. I think it weighs like 40 lbs.
The wind noise on the aftermarket tops is terrible, so I prefer the OEM ones.
I don't think I've been in a car with the authentic Mugen hardtop. I know the replicas are bad.
Me either, just because they are uber expensive.

Aftermarkets have a lot of wind noise.

It's a lot heavier than my top I'll bet. I lifted an oem one at the dealership and I think its just more or less the fact I'm afraid of breaking the rear glass. I just like the way the Mugen style looks too.

I'm not knocking your top, I was just saying the OEM top isn't THAT heavy. It weighs more than fiberglass for sure, but it's still aluminum. I can pick it up myself. I have the hardtop stand from honda, so I'm not worried about the glass. And, I've only ever had the hardtop off like 4 or 5 times in the 3 years that I've had it.
