Default Hard Tops

I have seen some wicked looking hard top s2000's out there. I am wondering if that's an aftermarket kit or if you can actually get a non-convertible version of the s2000?

Anyone know?

Both...
There is an OEM Optional hardtop
And I believe 2-3 aftermarket ones you can get...

hardtopguy.com is the only one i can think of, off the top of my head...

OEM can be ordered through some online Honda accessory vendors. The aftermarket tops typically come in fiberglass or carbon fiber. The fiberglass need to be painted so that's an extra cost. Mugen, Seibon, Mooncraft and others all make aftermarket hard tops for the car.

I believe the OEM one is the best for daily driving as it has a defroster. The other ones are more aggressive and may not fair as well in bad weather. You shouldn't use the CF one in winter or the clearcoat will get really distorted. I think the Seibon ones are mostly fibreglass, so that's not exactly the sturdiest material in the world.

Can't go wrong with OEM for fitment, quality and resale value.

Anyways all HT's change the look of the car, in my opinion positively.

Good points. In addtion, the OEM top has a large, glass rear window and is nicely finished on the inside. The aftermarket tops typically have a small, lexan or plexiglass rear window and may or may not be finished on the inside.
