Mugen hood owners
 

How's the fitment? Does it sit flush like oem? Any problems during/after installation?

The fitment is excellent. I had it on my car (Carbon Version) and fit just like OEM. I did have to play with the hood latch a little bit but it wasn't a big deal.

Go for the carbon, you won't regret it. ;)

I want the frp hood so I can paint it bb to match my car. I would purchase the cf hood if I were to come across an awesome deal. What kind of problems did you have with the latch? Alignment?

The hood was slightly raised so it did not it flush with my front bumper.

I had the same issue with my ASM FRP hood as well.

I wonder if that's a common problem. Also you owned the cf version, would the frp have the same issues?

Well I wouldn't consider it a problem. It just needs some minor adjustment for it to fit properly.

Same goes for an aftermarket front bumper, it will need some minor adjustments for it to fit.

I could deal with that. Are there any markings or stamps that show authenticity? I read the front splitter doesn't have any.

The hood does not have any markings to show authenticity. The FRP hoods are all primered in white so this usually is a good sign the hood is genuine.

With the CF version there is a noticeable difference between the real and fake hood.

Thanks for the heads up.

I have owned two mugen carbon hoods. And they both fit perfectly. There is simply no hood that fits as well as the carbon asm and mugen hoods
