Without a shadow of a doubt. I'll post the pictures tomorrow.

"out of Japan" was the keyword. I did not mention freight, tax, duty & handling costs as these vary depending on country of destination.

You may get a better final deal going thru a local retailer or distributor as they probably get better prices and can share shipping costs. Not to talk about service & support.

Unfortunately in Portugal, there are none, so I'm forced to buy directly.

...and now the pictures.

From the back:



Close up:



From the side. This is a high resolution photo. Click and select the highest resolution to see the welding work quality and the nauseating pimp blue in gory detail.





3/4, again a high resolution picture. If you zoom over the wheel you can see my scored rotors :




From above. It does stick out more than stock or the mugen:




... and that's all folks.

Thanks for the pics Luis . I'm also not fond of the way that exhaust looks but the weight saving is incredible. Are you using the oem brakes(rotors, calipers)? Also what suspension are you running currently to compliment your MF-10's
