How's those mirrors compared to moddictions? Same convex and clarity?

How's that shift knob compared to the cf mugen? I'm assuming it's heavier?
the Mugen are much more blue, like the Spoon hydro mirrors, seems the same convexity and clarity.

knob is probably heavier, it's been years since i held the CF mugen knob, so i don't know for sure.
Tnx for the reply.... Your oil cap label is crooked btw ......

Chris, where did you pick up those lower arm bushings from? Did you install them yet? Notice any difference?

Those mirror lenses are bad-ass. I need me a set. Time to make a trip to Japan!

Thanks
you guys can buy here: http://www.rhdjapan.com/mugen-blue-w...0-ap1-ap2.html
What makes their prices cheaper than GoTuning, Evasive, ICB, etc? I'd assume they are all authentic. Can you share your shopping experience? (I'd tried sending you a PM, but you are not able to receive new messages.)

RHD Japan has been around for a long time. This was my 2nd order with them with no problems. They're cheaper because they're based in Japan. While they're still the middle-man between the consumer and the manufacturer, they must have lower overhead since they don't stock anything--they order from the manufacturer after you place your order. Their profit margin i'd assume is less too than U.S. based importers. They air ship (at least small parts for sure), so once they receive the parts from the manufacturer, the parts get to your door within a week.

oh yes, best part about RHD Japan is that they have a points system based on your order dollar amount that earns you money to use towards you next order. They're always running promotions as well.

I heard a rumor that no more Mugen S2000 parts are being made. Is this true? I was hoping to get a the SS front bumper and the CF hood.

I've been hearing the same for the past year--that the parts will be discontinued soon. Some people say they are currently discontinued already. The parts are still listed on Mugen Japan's website and i believe still on King's website, so i'm not sure if it's actually happened yet. It'll happen for sure though, based on Mugen's history of discontinuing parts for discontinued Honda models. It's only a matter of time.

Yeah, I guess I'll double check and call around tomorrow to see.

Thanks, I think I'll give them a try.
