Very true. I am thinking of getting the following but it is highly doubtful.

Mugen Front Sway Bar
Mugen Rear Sway Bar
Mugen Brake Line
Mugen Brake Rotors
Mugen Brake Pads

Like I said though these are highly doubtful though. I have a couple of other things I am thinking about. They aren't Mugen but still JDM. I don't think that anyone will be able to top you on being a Mugen whore.

On a side note. Will the ECU work on an 06? I doubt it considering the drive by wire, maintnence minder and changes to the intake system.

Hi all,

Sorry to bother you!, but since this is a place that has a lot of mugenized guys , i would like know from you guys if to the living creature, they are real differences between them in quality, look, carbon and kevlar used, etc... if in your eyes and close you can see the diferences ?? Are the 2000USD diference worth it ? (seibon Vs Mugen).

I now the diference is about 2 000USD between them, but i prefer have the best in quality than for a cheaper way get a false rejoinder with poor quality. But if they are just the same in all and the diference is "only!" the brand, maybe i think again.

And only between the Fiber Mugen Vs Carbon Mugen, is just a question of taste, since the quality is the same!! ?

I just sold my OEM Hard-top and would like to get one of these two this year if possible (don

you answered your own question

I would never buy a seibon product and Mugen has a far superior quality than seibon.

Mugen uses a 1X1 IM7 Carbon fiber. In everything that they make that requires a weave pattern.
IM7 is a Super Strong , !!almost militarily grade!! carbon fiber, which is virtually impossible to get today(AKA very expensive). It is 47% stronger than the T300 plain or twill CF by weight. In fact, IM7c is so strong, that it is 171% stronger than the T300 CF for the same length and width.
It is one of the strongest fabrics commercially available.

Any 1 know if the ASM (+25mm) front fenders will match up with the Mugen SS front bumper?

I don't see why the ASM front fenders won't go with the Mugen SS. The only thing you need to do is run those extensions the fender comes with and since your car is black, those extensions wouldn't be noticable.

Check out HunterEz's car, their barely visible.
