personally there's not many people with the real deal. those who have them buy them because it's the icing on the cake.
personally i think the mugen bumper looks like ***. all of them do haha. i'm not going to buy something just because it's "JDM"...
diff. strokes for diff. folks. i think the bottom line is that these parts are made with every atten. to detail. my spoon lip clipped on and it's so nicely fitted, everything lined up exactly.

i know label ***** **** when i see em.
"OOH ITS A MOOGEN BLINKER FLUID RESERVOIR **** I GOTTA HAVE IT SO I FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF."
it's not making the car faster, what's the point on blowing tons of money on it? if you can get fake **** to look the same and perform the same (non) function then why spend money on the real thing? the only discernable reason i can see is so you can front on H-T to a bunch of other label ***** **** who are the only people that give a ****.
go ahead, spend tons of money on useless ****. meanwhile i'll spend money on the worthwhile things like rubber, suspension pieces, engine work.
i guess this thread is in the A/C forum for a reason.

if you ever learned how to read, please apply those skills now, i said i dont have one nor do i plan on getting one (referring the mugen dc2 bumper), and btw if you want you can PM me for my suspension set up/engine mods and yes i did go with the trustworthy names and not some imitation either....why? because they have service warranties and the no name ones do not, they are dyno proven (shocks and engine components) plus it would cost too much to send those parts back to china rather then japan since japan is closer to us

i have no interest in your car, or your life in general.
you're in this thread advocating that people spend extra money on useless bling parts. that's what *I* have read. i don't give a **** if you've got those parts on your car or not. your argument is that 1250 dollar bumpers are worth it simply because they're on purpose driven 500,000 dollar race cars. my argument is that they're not worth it solely for that reason, and you have no idea what you're ******* talking about.
go hang out at a car show and drool on the models and lambo doors or somethin.

this is the most stupidest topic ever did you guys get tired of real vs rota so now you guys are talking about bumpers.
The key is you get what you pay for. Mugen you get perfect fitment. Replica you need modifcations to have it fit right line up with the body lines. It's like shoes will you go out and buy shoes from foot locker or from payless. Its the same concept. People who buy the replicas and are happy with them don't knock done the real deal because if it wasn't for the real deal you wouldn't have your replicas

it's a ******* waste of money on a 5,000 dollar beater piece of **** car too, what's your point, moron?
btw,
your = possessive 2nd person
you're = you are.
i believe the word you wanted to use was "you're." learn the language before you start using it to talk ****. also, you haven't addressed my arguments, could it be because you don't really have a reply to them? or could it be because it's taking you a while to look up all the words on dictionary.com?
a few words of advice: stfu. and like i said previously: go drool on something, you dipshit.

Re: Fake OR REAL? (bad-monkey)
your 1st idiotic arguement was not you never seen a mugen bumper on a real race car, and i addressed that, your 2nd and 3rd and 4th is that only 500,000 cars have it, which is also and idiotic statement, you my friend cant really argue much can you? and btw most cars that are worked from top to bottom usually start out as a used car then into a shell then bought to be race prepped so in the HT world, most of the nicest car around started as a shell or a cheap bucket...

Re: Fake OR REAL? (Transport)
The replica I have fits perfectly. In fact, it actually fits better than some of the real deals I've seen. 
And whomever says that Rotas are "bad" wheels either do not own a set, or do not know what they are talking about. I canyon run with my Grids very often and they ride better than stock oem (plus, they are lighter than stock). I think the price I paid for them, they are worth every penny if not more.
Like monkey said, "if you can get fake **** to look the same and perform the same (non) function" why spend the money on the real thing when you can use that money to spend on other parts for your car (such as suspension, engine, etc.)

I never get this. Rice is not about overpaying, it's about having gaudy, cheap bullshit on your car that's tasteless.
Anyway...is there seriously no one who makes a urethane replica? Cos a $200 urethane replica would probably be a 10x better purchase than a $1200 fiberglass one. I'm not hating on the price, though. If you've got the money and don't like having knockoffs of things, sport it.

Re: Fake OR REAL? (soundbomber)
its about them cracking under extreme driving conditions. thats why race cars or ppl that drive hard get the real deal cuz they rather the wheel bend then crack and break while racing and hitting something, they still want to be able to go on...
fake bumper fitting better then the real one? you must have the og mold from mugen that was never issued an emblem....please dont tell the rotas look better then real thing as well

yeah because mugen fiberglass doesn't crack when you hit an object on track but VIS fiberglass does...mugen is made with special JDM magic fiberglass. same material, same form factor, how does a $1250 bumper not snap in half when you hit something at speed?
wind tunnel tested aero parts for purpose built race cars are a totally different thing than a $1250 show car bumper. we're obviously not talking about windtunnel tested one-off bumpers in this thread, unless the guy knows someone who can fabricate a bumper and just happens to know someone with a windtunnel. what you're talking about is why "real" bumpers look "cooler" to you, simply because they've got a label. which is fine, but don't spout off psuedo scientific mumbo jumbo about why it's better. if you wanna believe that a mugen oil cap makes your car a race car, please continue to do so, but quit trying to rationalize to the rest of us why you spent 5x the amount of money you should have on something that has little to no bearing on real world performance.
have you ever bent a wheel on track? have you ever been to a track? what kind of objects have you hit with your SuPeR ReAL WhEELs? any reason why a majority of the honda challenge field is on rotas? why most SCCA race cars are on $500 cast wheels? keep in mind these are people that actually race, not sit around jacking off on mugen fiberglass...furthermore, while real volks or MF10's "look" better than rotas, what looks even better than the volks or the mf10's is the extra $2000 sitting in your bank account because you weren't a dumbass and blew $2500 on wheels. i guess the real test is what tires you've got on those BLiNgY volks...
i've been on track. i've bent wheels. and when i bend or crack one, you know what i do? i buy a new one for $125 and am glad i don't have to spend $500 on replacing one. maybe you live in fantasy land where you've got an infinite amount of money, but most people in the real world have this thing called a "budget" and "budgeting priorities." just thought i'd clue you in on that.

Re: Fake OR REAL? (bad-monkey)
one day you will find out when your rota crack from hitting a berm or what not and your rotors grind on the floor give me a call i'll hook you up with some quality forge and btw mugen does wind tunnel their areo parts ( at least the race version kits) but what do i know, your the guy that says "you never seen a mugen kit on a race car" honda is not without racing and racing is not without mugen...period.
