What front lip/side skirts/rear bumper are these?
What front lip, side skirts, and rear bumper does Cory have? Pretty sure it's all Mugen but just wanted to clarify. I guess these parts aren't available anymore? Not sure I want to go messing with the body of the R b/c I generally think it's rice, but this looks real nice.

In order to use that front lip, you would have to convert your front end to 94-97 front end.....
i.e. new headlights bumper cover etc.....
no worth it imo....

Dont confuse Mugen with Spoon.
What part about "wind tunnel tested" did you not understand? You are living up to your name right now. You have much to learn.

I think Mugen is over priced.
I think Spoon > Mugen (and that's what I've heard in other forums/places).

If any part being worth the money or not is completely subjective. I personally couldn't justify the market prices for the Gen 1 but the Gen 2 is a proven performer.
The spoon > mugen argument is depending on what item you're referring to and yet still subjective.

Spoon (Nissin) brakes > Mugen (Honda) brakes
Mugen exhaust (inhouse) > Spoon exhaust (inhouse)
Mugen Suspension = Spoon suspension (both sourced from Showa)
He goes on to say that Mugen is better all around because they have exclusive access to Honda cars because of the close (family) ties between the founder of Mugen and founder of Honda. Also, Mugen is more streetable whereas Spoon is more geared for strict track car builds.
