Default How to authenticate a Mugen wing

Is there a way to tell the difference between the actual mugen wing and the copies that exist?

Not that I know of, but I know that Seibon replica is very well made and there's absolutely no reason to pay the crazy premium for an Authentic one.

if it wasnt painted yea

the center piece of the mugen is FRP and the side are CARBON

the copy are all carbon and a bit lighter than the mugen.

weave pattern are as well a bit different

i used to have a copy and now im using the real one which is not much of the difference. (if i knew that it was pretty close to the original i would have not spend the extra money for the real one.)




1. brackets are practically similar but the mugen are painted silver or a primer look.

2. copy's are always painted black

3. copy's are lighter than the real mugen wing.
