Designed and developed by Mooncraft Racing team. The concept is to improve aero dynamic effect during mid to high speeds. Spoon's Racing team has tested in Super Taikyu Race series comparing with Mugen hardtop which Spoon had been using, the Spoon coupe top has achieved 5-15km/hr & more during straight line and turns.
The Mooncraft hard coupe top is a 2-piece design and is made from lightweight FRP for superior strength and quality.
Vehicle application: 00-09 S2000
Recommended for race use only.

The awkwardness of getting to the central position would be eased by the turntable for sure, I've never added it up before - thanks.
