I like it, but it is almost too understated for a Mugen kit, IMO.

I came close to buying the front and rear for my SI, but I couldn't convince myself to spend almost 2k for a front and side skirts that could pass for stock at first glance. I'm not sure about the sedan spoiler either, but I haven't seen that in person to judge.

Shit, I don't think I spent more that 3K* or so to convert my Fiji blue fa5 to a Mugen SI. Now that was a night and day difference.

*with inflation I spend more than 3k.



Hell, the CTR Mugen kit is somewhat understated in person.
My biggest gripe with the CTR kit is that at shows EVERYONE has it. That and it just just pieces stuck on other pieces that are already a lip kit to begin with

Honestly, the 5 door Mugen kit is just okay for the car. The the factory sport lipkit and the hfp lip kit are both nice in their own rights.

add in the fact you cannot get the Mugen kit pre painted like you can in other markets, makes it a harder sale. (Cost of kit + shipping + paint makes it rather expensive for what you are getting).

signed someone who has purchased a bunch of legit Mugen parts over the years.
I myself love the front lip only, since my approach is to stay subtle (factory or HFP are too subtle), and making the lip black matches the factory skirt just fine imo. For the rear bumper piece though I would much prefer the factory mudguard insteadšŸ˜…

I'm really disappointed that they don't ship painted ones here officially, for a long time I've been waiting for RHDJapan to have their cheaper shipping methods available again, but then Heeltoe was made known to me, which becomes the possibly cheapest option to me, given that I have to wait and paint it myself... On the other hand that kinda gives me a chance to do it further, since I want the white and black contrast, if I get it from Japan painted, it'll be in CBP, but now I have the opportunity to paint it Berlina Black, which matches the rest of the glossy blacks. I'm going to try to paint it myself, got the paint from Automotivetouchup, it'll be an adventure.

Anyway, I understand my approach to subtleness is expensive and may not be worth it, but along with the replica Sportline spoiler, they'll finish the look in my vision.šŸ¤©

ā€œDonatedā€ my airbag last night, I guess.

(edit) Talked to the police just now on the phone and they said another car on a nearby street got their stolen, too. An officer will come by and take a look.

Also 'donated' my airbag on May 1 or April 30th. It is still parking on dealer's garage waiting for the parts, after 2 months waiting. I think it just takes too long... Located in NoVA.

I didnā€™t do anything to my civic today (besides drive it) but more like what my Civic did to me today. I go out to the garage this morning and all the windows and sun roof are wide open. Iā€™m confused as hell as my wife said she didnā€™t roll them down. I was driving so I couldnā€™t google it but my wife told me about the key fob being able to do it which must have happened in my pocket. For about 10 minutes I was utterly confused.

Installed new side markers and added a pigtail onto the turn signal wire for easy disconnect and reconnect. There is a startup sequence for these side markers which is really cool i tried to upload the video but was only able to upload the turn signal one. Also the photo doesn't do justice of how good the blue actually looks.

I use that feature all the time. Roll down the windows to let the heat out and remote start to get the AC blowing some cold air at least.
