I regret getting the modulo kit. I would have prefer to spend the money on mugen even thou its more expensive. I guess i dont mind the look of having modulo for body and mugen for wing and grille.

is the modulo kit the one the sports comes standard with?
Sport dosnt come with any kit. Every FD civic can have the modulo kit on. ;)Quote:

Very tempted to remove it but i dont want any loss of performance, or cause any abnormal circumstances etc.
Please PM or reply and let me know the results.
So the modulo kit is the OEM honda one?Quote:

Thanks. Ive seen that thread. I prefer not to permanently cut anything off. Just want to know if any FD bros out there who has done this. Just want to know the result whether its worth doing. I have mentioned this in the noob section before but answers were from non FD owners.
Yes will do, if its not a good enough price meaning alot cheaper then the mugen one i will probably just buy the mugen.Quote:

A replica kit will cost around $1200 and about $500 to paint. But i dont know anyone who sells replicas in Aus.
I would go for the mugen look if you have the money. At the time when i bought my car, i didnt think of the mugen kit. Just got too excited with the car and bought the modulo kit.
Yea i have the Mugen Replica Kit. I got it from a private importer in syd.
Does it fit on well?Quote:

I have pics on Page 49 of this thread, they fit really well. The shop that painted and fitted it for me said it was surprisingly easy fit for a replica. He lives in syd so if u still want his contact then pm me.
Pls PM me details (and price you paid if you wish).Quote:

I understand the red type R badge fits properly on the original factory grill cause of the holes but would 3M tape be the only way on the new grill? Most modified Honda Civic 8th gen cars I've seen with the Mugen grill seem to have no emblems or labels on at all, which to me looks completely ridiculous! Especially if you've just purchased the pricey Red badges and can't find a place to stick the front one.
i dont have the link, but theres some guy on ebay that sells the grille badge holder. It basically looks like a flat piece of metal with 2 screws on the bank. You screw that onto the grille then stick any badge onto the flat piece of metal. From memory it costs around $20 fully shipped. I was thinking of getting one for a mugen badge but i think some moron will come and rip it off and possibly damage your mesh grille as well
or maybe try to stick in on the front bumper or the edge of hood? :p
mugen grille without emblem coz it's replica, but if u get good and fine replica, it also comes with the emblem, i sold mine comes with mugen emblem.Quote:

if u want put red badge onto mugen grille, the only way is put the strong silicon glue behind red badge, and force to stick onto mugen mesh grill (do it properly and tidy). during drying, put sticky tape across red badge to mesh/mugen grill. hope it's work.;)
hey guys i found a good place to get some body kits including the mugen RR kit
http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/insid...usdm-4-dr.html
^ for the USDM civics... not exaclty gonna play nice with our more JDM shaped AUSDM civics. Their chasis code is different to our FDs. They have FGs or something like that.
just wait another 6 months, MUGEN RR replica will available on the market (type-r replica just release in overseas)
start saving and by next xmas, hopefully its out and I can buy one ^_^
I need a front bumper where can i find a niced priced one!!
do you guys think a place like JETSPEED can create a custom kits that is 99% looks like the Mugen RR kits?
hey DMX do you have more info on these new MUGEN RR replica kits for the JDM model? (as that other link is for the USDM models).
The kit looks pretty low! I love the look of the back though, very sporty, and the waves on the side skirts are big. Are the fenders an extra addition to the body kit? Front looks like it has room for a Nice BIG silver grille also :D
:Di said MAY BE next 6months replica will come out. not now ;)but pls notice, i think, if come out, i won't as simple as mugen kit (add on), i think, it would be same like type-r body kit (replica), full bumper replacement.Quote:

why not. but if just for one, it would be pricy due to making the templates.Quote:

is it a good price? what u guys think?
I've seen better. 2.5k for lip kit + spoiler + grille + paint + fit. Even that sounds expensive to me for a replica mugen kit.
Add 200 bucks and they install and supply fog lights.
woooo that pricey!!!! only for the normal mugen kit? or the RR? cause you can buy the replica of mugen kit for around $1000. and the mugen kit is only add ons...Quote:

Mark, I think JDM concept sell the ORiginal one for $2,450... and I've seen this $1,000ish replica on Ebay (i think it was $1,500ish for body kits, spoiler and the front grill)Quote:

Sorry guys who pm'ed me but i just called the guy that i got my kit from and he said he's not importing anything for awhile. He said he'd be on holidays and when he gets back he'll give me a ring. So until then nothing from me sorry!
hey shimian since you are looking for mugen replica , we should buy it together so that we can get cheaper price :) , anyone want a join us??
Im in!
depends on the how much it costs good man
sounds like a good idea what are more details?
I'm interested indeed. Price etc would be handy, as well as location. I' happy to drive up to Sydney if need be, but no further!Quote:

Yes it is the Mugen, although the wing looks really dodgy. It seems to be made of ABS. IMO i wouldn't use a ABS wing, i'd rather Fibreglass.
And yes its replica for that price
wow damn the price very cheap though , but not sure how much it will cost for painting and fitting??
i got stupid quesion actually.. normally for body kit do we paint it first and install it or the other way around... ? ;p see stupid question but i don't know the answer which way is better and saver
They will need to remove it to paint it if its on the car. So best not to install until you can afford to paint it.
Also expect to pay 500-800 to have it all painted.
this is probably the wrong thread to post but what are the parkers globe size/specs for the FD1? and also for low and high beams
planning to grab a pair of mtec's
it will be in manual
low = hb4
high = hb3
parkers = 12W 5V from memory
Agree with MarkCivicVTI. Paint before installing. Remember to get the painter to do the eye matching technique to mix paint rather than just give them the code. It will not match the colour of your car. By doing the eye matching method, you will get it to 99% accurate. So basically, get them to mix the paint using code, then hold the paint against the car. Add whatever ingredients to match it as close as possible.Quote:

I'm pretty happy with my Mugen factory-painted wing. Although a perfectionist might find it to be a little bit off from the original black, I can't see any discernible difference.Quote:

Hello,, i just talked to my guy..and hes asked me how many mugen kits do I need?.. so can I get a count? he lives in sydney? do we have a driver? how many kits can you fit?
thanks
o0ohH..and if I remembered right.. its around 1200.. but if we bulk.. it would be cheaper without a doubt.. =)
whats included with the kit?
is it just side skirt, front lip rear skirt?
or include wing as well?
also is it painted for 1200?
its the side skirts.. front and rear... and wing.. and its not painted.. for 1250... he goes we can go pick it up next week if we wanted to.. =)
Possible to get without the wing?Quote:

Sorry but I think 1100 is a bit pricey for a replica Mugen kit, unpainted and with no wing. There are a few places in Sydney which I've seen offer them for approx 800aud. Don't ask for places because the shop which first comes to mind has since closed down (it was in Hornsby).Quote:

Anyone know if this grill is available and would fit into the mugen kit? It has a badge holder!!!

As shate as it looks, I don't think so. Maybe a replica will become available in the future but from those photos it looks like you'll need to replace the whole bumper (which looks alrights).Quote:

I think quite alot of us are abit confused.. the site people are referring the kit to is the ebay site I showed yous a few days ago..
the one for sale for 1250 dollar is a different one.. I have a few pics of the kit.. but I dunno how to upload the pics.. any ideas?
hey with HID retrofitting when replacing the entire housing, do people use sillicone to seal the housing into the front of the car? Or does it just sit in there with clips? If the latter, would water get around the housing and into the engine, even if the actual housing is sealed?
