$3 worth of cheap wires than bam! mugen logo painted on.
there you have fake mugen ground wire kit.

do a bit more search and you'll find exact same kit sold by exact same seller,
but with different logos such as trd, rally art... etc.

this issue has been discussed numerous times,
do a search especially under macgyver's user name.

this doens't do shiet to your car.
but does no harm either, i guess.
so if you must decide to get one,
save some money and just make yourself your own ground kit.

Nice one Road Rage!

Grounding wires do nothing to improve hp.

But the Mugen logo alone has to be worth 15 Rice-o-watts.

Just out of interest, I know these are fakes, but do Mugen actually make their own grounding kits?

I mean come-on... no matter how small, do you honestly think Mugen would make anything that would be that cheap in price? haha They automatically have a 50+% increase in value due to the logo. hahaha

Actually, it's probably due to their tax penalities they now have to pay for avoiding them all these years.

I've offered to make an S2000-specific kit in the past, but no one has yet to take me up on the offer. I personally think they're useless for anything other than show and have gone toe to toe with many a written "factoid" to prove them wrong (or at the very least, not right), but I'm more than happy to take someone's money.

I'll guarantee it, just like any of my other products, to be a quality design (not kidding on that part). Pick a color and I'll make it. Refunds will always be given for defective components, but it's not defective merely because it didn't give you the hp gains you desired, it's only defective if a component falls apart.
