Some Mugen parts are worth it IMHO; others aren't. There is a thread on the Mugen hood compared to the new Js hood and the guys says the Js is a much better weave.
I have the SS wing. It is a great product but expensive - I paid 1K for it. I don't track my car but the wing is adjustable, functional (200Lbs downforce I believe), and low profile. It depends on what you are looking for I believe and if there is a quality alternative as is the case with the hood

What do you think you get when you pay $27 for a Mugen oil filter?

Everything they make is expensive. Quality is top notch. Personally, I believe their exhaust is the only aftermarket exhaust I'd even get for my S2000. Everything else is too loud.
Love their wheels, too... but Volks can be had for a bit cheaper, and they're comparable quality, as well as lighter.

mugen isnt for thrill seeking ricers. mugen is a unique culture in the import industry. it is not nessisarily that one wishes to just go fast, one may want to go fast with class. and this is what mugen does, not only that, but they also produce some of the finest parts available to s2000 owners. Its like this: an armani suit, and a banana republic suit. both equally sufficient to do the job, but two different styles and levels of class....this is just my take on the issue, anyone agree/dissagree?

A Honda filter with gold paint and a Mugen logo.... and 50 people who swear it makes 5 more horsepower.
A $6.00 filter for $27. Amazing what a fancy label and some good old fashioned fan culture will do

preciate it ludedude. Its not that hard to figure out...is it worth it...to some, yes. Does this convo. really matter at all...no. Its your call...their gear is nice, perhaps the nicest, but am I willing to spend crazy money for their name and sponsors and yada yada, no.
