i saw that u just bought the mugen grille in the 'parts for sale' section, khoi. let me know when u get that in and go for the install... so then i can also get ur oem grille

[rene]

Now....i've heard back from the dealer in singapore. The Mugen RR kit is around $4000 (he didn't specify what currency). The Mugen RR hood was $1100 (i'm guessing this is all in SGD). He also said that from what he remembered a local company from singapore shipped to australia once and it costed $1200
i've replied to him saying how come the hood is so expensive and the shipping as well because i got my type R carbon hood for US$365 and shipping for that along with a HEAP of products costed me US$215 by sea from taiwan.

now awaiting to hear for some big discounts hopefully lol

*** heard back... apparently
As for the hood.. the price is expensive because it is Made in Japan (no brand) and it has a higher build quality and finishing. I have seen the taiwan type and the quality cannot make it.

If you r looking for a cheaper version, we have that too... price is also comparable to the Taiwan type but u need to install bonnet pin as a safety precaution.

This makes mine cheap ass lol its a good thing i got mine from Thailand

why dont you guys (whoever trying to get the RR kit) buy it from thai?
They copy it straight from the original RR kit .. you could even buy the full carbon fibre one's to which off course comes with a price

One thing tho guys, not to sound arrogant or anythin, when we are buying somethin cheap you cant expect for "it" to have the quality of something that is more expensive or the original stuff, we gotta compensate it somewhere. For my case my bonnet was cheaper in a way compare to say Js racing but I learn to accept the quality of my bonnet and dont even bother to compare it with anything else..

So in conclusion Good quality products comes with a price. If you want to buy something that guarantee looks good on your car you gotta willing to dig deep! If not learn to live with small defects.

Cliff notes - you get what you pay for.

anyone know of a diy to install mugen grille into fd?

[NZFD2]

k: i think shimian did a small diy at the start of this thread but the pics are gone and I can't remember which page it was specifically. if you're ok with a half guide then dmx did a grill change diy but it was for a type r grille which is in the diy forums

btw..where's dmx? haven't seen him post here lately

[.k.]

aiight thanks mate, i'll have a look later. yeh dont need exactly a mugen grille, any will do - just so i get an idea.. like i cud just pull off the stock one but i wanna know what other people did i dont wreck mine incase aero needs it as a spare lol!

[Shimian]

k: follow DMX's guide until you have removed the black plastic cover
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86111

Place the grille on the curve. It should sit nicely into place. All you need to do is to put the black plastic cover ontop of the mugen grille.

Important: When you put the screw into the middle hole, make sure you put ur hand under the black plastic cover and hold the hole of the mugen grille. When you push the screw back, make sure you push the hole on the grille upwards so that your mugen grille wont snap in the middle due to the force going down. The rest is straight forward and hard to damage.

Hard to explain, im happy to clarify further if you dont understand.

is there no need to place any kind of double-sided tape under the mugen grille to help the bottom sit on the curved bit of the bumper?

[.k.]

i think i'll just double-side it anyway.. so it'll have 3m tape on the bottom, and its held in by screws on top/side.
