Come on now, why would a name brand on plastic vent visors that serve the same function as ones without and sell for 3 times the price be in your opinion an investment ?
A member from Taiwan that goes by Lek spoke of being in an accessory shop in his country that catered to the tuner crowd.. Noticing that the both the Mugen and the look alike visors that were being put out for display came in boxes that were shipped from China and were alike in every respect except one had a brand name and the others didn't, chose to get the cheaper ones... I have had the cheaper ones on my car for years, they work fine and the money I saved went toward other functional items that either improve the performance, comfort or handling of my car or was spent on cheap liquor and prostitutes.

On the real tho, real parts (esp. mugen's in this case) tend to last longer as when compared to imitations if that justifies any extra investment!
or why'd you by a honda fit when you could've gotten a chevy aveo or hyunda/kia?
We're good EvoFit, no problem
Now, someone asked about doing their hood because of the stonechips, I say go for it, cheaper and easier than painting it but I'd guess my guy would charge about $225 because the center section of my hood was $75.00. I kinda wonder how it would look with my whole hood AND roof done

I mean, i'm not telling you not to do it, but there are def other alternatives too!
Just for ref, the shop that did my car charges only 80 for either gloss black/matte black roofs and 280 for 3M dry carbon (installed)

I'll just be doing the roof, not the hood since I've got that section already done and its unique

I'd like to get a Mugen grill, someday but at $380, I can't swing that....right now, so I'll piece it together over time but it will happen, gotta do the springs first though!
