    Sif it matters whether its genuine or not. I aint paying mugen a premium just to have some moulded plastic that some guy in china can manufacture for cheaper at reasonable quality. If money wasnt an issue i wouldnt be driving a civic.

    Replica ftw!

    Love the mugen kit btw bryan yuen. I'll be in the same boat soon... steelies with bodykit :S

    But Shimian... there is a definite difference in quality. The wing for example, as mentioned before, there's some very weird characteristics in the replicas. It seems as if the replicas only aim to replicate the look and none of the other benefits/attributes.

    My pedal set are replicas. I dont see why i should pay 4 x more when it does the same thing. The fit is perfect with the replica. In regards the the mugen wing, mine is replica. It fits perfectly (in my eyes anyways) for half the price. What advantages does a genuine wing give over a replica? I find the weight of the wing to be about the same weight as the genuine modulo, or pretty close. But one thing i noticed, when i corner with the mugen spoiler, the car seems to be held down better. Could be psychological??? Btw, i only have a few things replica
    - pedals
    - spoiler
    - grille
    - oil cap
    - mirror cover
    Im sure with the grille and spoiler, there might be a minor difference (advantage) between replica vs genuine. But to me, it fits perfectly, doesnt weigh a tonne and the material is holding the paint together.

    yeh he thinks 17s are too small.

    with weight savings/benefits of genuine v. replica mugen parts... the only thing i would be worrying about (as with any kit) would be the fit against the bodywork... i dont think theres that much to be gained from genuine mugen cosmetic parts over replicas.. at the suburban/cruise speeds that all these cars will be driven at there would be sweet f.a. in aero difference...

    jeff u know i love you but theres not much in it between them... up to the individual

    ur wing looks shmick tho
