An auto civic and a manual civic has the same car look. Its personal preference. For me, i like the mugen spoiler as it is not too high and not too low like the modulo (which i regretted buying). There will be many many pictures out there with the full mugen kit. If you think it looks sexy, then go get it. Otherwise, a mugen kit without spoiler also looks sexy. Maybe try getting the full kit without spoiler first and drive around for a few months?

I like the Modulo wing, its sporty but still discrete.

The Mugen wing is very polarising, hence you get issues with unwanted attention and affect resale. So unless if you really love the look of the Mugen Iwouldnt get it.

Nothing wrong with getting the mugen wing. Just cos every 17 yr old will want to race you from every light doesn't mean you have to grace them with your participation.

For once I have to agree with IAMVTEC (don't get used to it

), that the wing might affect the resale value. But the rest of the kit will too. Few want
to buy a modded car. I'm still going to rice the civic up with the kit on the FD1. But I know I won't be selling/trading in this car for a very long time (will likely go to wife), so I'm not worried about resale value.

Just FYI my planed mods are the full kit, foggies, rims, tint, lowered (be it coilovers or some shock/spring combo), and when I feel comfortable with the vehicle eventually CAI (Injen looks like a strong contender).

But nothing further than perhaps a double din with gps nav... but we'll see.

Reliability FTW

Love the mugen look over modulo. Not planning to sell my car unless i strike lotto. Going to do some mods like MarkCivicVTI. Dont have any of the main mods yet like exhaust or rims. Next mod for me would be the eagle eyes with HIDs

**JaCe** · 11-11-2007 05:49 PM

I wonder if it's worth keeping my Modulo spoiler and swapping it back on come time to trade in, and then selling the wing seperately for some cheap price since it's genuine Mugen and factory painted.

**Shimian** · 11-11-2007 06:01 PM

Ill probably let mine go for half the factory price but dont really care if i sell it or not. Also i wont be selling my car any time soon. Will probably hang on to this car for the next 5-7 years depending if i win lotto or have some spare cash lying around.

But my friend says if without the wing you feel like you're missing something and i guess its true as well. damn dilemma!

i think, the most important to consider is ur circumstances.
if u still youngster, it's ok (a must) to put wing
but if u already have a baby, have baby on board sign on ur window (like me

) or sometimes ur parents/grandparents drive ur car, may be better not put the wing on

mugen body kit (modulo too) without wing/spoiler still looks nice

**xenfacta** · 11-11-2007 09:14 PM

im sure grandpa would dig the mugen wing... hes young at heart im sure

**TurBIce** · 12-11-2007 08:40 AM

my dads asking me to install the wing, he wants it on more than i do. so it isnt just 17 year olds:P

elegant style or sporty style.
basic rules 4 elegant style : no wing, politely bodykit

maybe I add another option? dunno what it called, but the 3rd option i see is when you put 20s and wide custom bodykit to the civic, with a very very low spring (kit touch the ground) and of course, a lot of bling2

(not that I like them though...)
