mugen authentic vs...

i was going to order the authentic mugen window visors but i noticed that the mugen "type" was $110 less!!! so i was thinking... get authentic mugen window visors or should i get the mugen "type" window visors AND the mugen "type" rear bumper piece and paint them ALL to match my car. i didnt see anyone with window visors painted to match there fit yet. what do you guys think???

Real deal is worth the extra $$$ when it comes to visors.

If you like the Mugen ones, go for it. But I highly suggest that you get the authentic ones. The quality, fit and finish is perfect compared to the fake ones. Another good option is the JDM Access visors. They give a cleaner look, but don't have that air duct.

Is the word Mugen really worth $110?

I got the same responses when I asked about the Mugen Type visors from ebay. Has anyone here tried the replicas, was disappointed, and then went out and paid the extra $$$ for the Mugens?

Follow the link, I had a couple people say that the Mugen-type work just fine for them.

Personally, I'm going with the less expensive type.

I ordered my authentic Mugens from hondafittuner.com well over a month ago and they haven't arrived yet. I sent them multiple emails with my copy of my order and no word from them yet. Anyone else have issues with hondafittuner.com? The other stuff I bought from them came right away...something is awry and I'm upset.

it's really up to you whether you want authentic pieces or knockoffs. you can save a lot of money but you can also end up with a bad product.

People who are willing to rock fakes need to just not get 'em period.

This applies to anything from cars to clothes to shoes.

ahh i don't really agree
i think fake wheels are fine, like rotas, i'm so down with rotas.
fake shoes are a little weird though
my friend brian is in love with fake clothing.

thats the reason im asking. just wondering if people have them and the fit of the product. i dont intend on claiming there authentic, but painting them to match the car and covering the "mugen" emblem anyways. i like the vent in the mugens and for the price there hella cheaper, therefore i could get the trunk garnish from hondafittuner.com also. dont worry guys, im not going to plaster stickers all over a stock fit or be an ebay racer. just wondering if anyone dealt with the replicas. also the mugen "style" rear garnish isnt made by any other company. i seen good reviews on it. any opinions on that piece?


thanks
ricky h

ps lots of ricky's own a fit. i owned a 240 and a j body and never once ran into annother ricky.

I stand corrected. From what I heard the only difference was up close. Like the smoothness of the edges. I thought you wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you knew what to look for. Maybe I'll rethink my plans.

The quality is different - its darker and it doesnt have the clips onto the door frame. Also, the 3M tape is only good to old her visor on, but when it rains and u left ur window open, the visor will not help - you're just gonna come back and find a wet seat.

I had one, installed and used during Vancouver Fall/Winter Season.. BIG MISTAKE
