Authentic Mugen Parts... Show-off

[Windchaser]

No, it's cutting or shaving off the mounting locations and redoing it so it will sit flush. If you just mount it the way it is, the wing sits really high from the glass leaving a huge gap between the glass and the wing. I modified 3 JDM bumpers myself to install a 3 Mugen lips on 3 occasions. Not only that, I cut my JDM to fit 2 radiator ducts on 2 separate occasions (myself). Furthermore, I fitted 2 Mugen tow hooks on my bumpers also on 2 occasions. Of course, this was when only a few members were fitted with CTR kits and when having a CTR was a rare commodity itself.

you can barely see it, but if you look closely, you'll see that the top 2 corners are recessed for an additional mounting point for the spoiler. iirc the curvature of the glass might be different as well

[Kerby]

hmm... is there a way to check the work of a reputable shop to see if the modification was done correctly?
And what about to check if the bodyshop cut too much material from the wing?

I always ask the people that I got them from if they are going to be making anymore Mugen replicas.

congrats man. it looks great. i never really liked/appreciated/understood the mugen grills until i got my hands on an mugen airbox. after selling mine, i kinda want to get my hands on another one

[Kerby]

quality is really good. Kinda sucks though that i miscalculated the front badge. Now I have to get the monster 'H'. you know the one that's the size of a damn Coke Can.
I put my Driod where the badge is suppose to go and the outline of the badge is bigger than the phone.

I'll be putting up the front badge that i got from showstoppers up for sale soon. Never been used.

Where you guys get the Huge 'H' from? ICB Motors?

[Siborg]

Chuck @ showstoppers has the H, thats where i got mine. So is your grill for an 04/05 or 02/03(looks to be an 04 and you need a big H so im gonna say 04/05 haha)? I thought the fitment was a little different on the two (not positive) because the 05 oem grill is a two piece, and the 05 bumper itself has no upper piece like the 03. Which bumper do you have, facelift?

[Kerby]

I got the 04-05 grill.
Don't have a jdm bumper yet... that's next on the list. I'm going to go with a facelift bumper. 04-05. and then after that comes in, I'm going to order the facelift mugen lip. i love that lip!

For the past three years I've tried to do something *BIG*. Last year was the swap, two years before that was the brake upgrade.
I've decided that this year i'm going to do the exterior. It's soon going to be 6years. the car needs a different look. That and my side skirts look like hell and have taken a severe beating.
My front hfp lip doesn't look good either. Paint looks uneven when taking dawn/dusk pictures... i kinda want to stick with SSM but with insane flakes this time to really make it sparkle.
Going full jdm and mugen. from bumpers, skirts, even the hatch (not CF mind you... the real jdm one, so i don't have to modify the mugen wing) if the place I found one is still selling it.

going to be digging around in the classifieds for a used mugen radiator vent soon. That will be the only part I'll be missing, exterior wise.
Still undecided on what rims. It's been 4 years now and I still cant decide.
