No.

OP: nice to see you bounce back from that idiot HnR. I don't understand the painting of wheels though.

Edit: I actually like the gloss black. Yeah, I dig.

The reason i paint the wheels was when the car was hit 2 of the wheels were also damaged so i had to repair them and decided to try out black rims

Mastav · 10-20-2009, 07:29 AM

In my opinion, the rims would look better with a matte black color. It looks a bit too glossy. But, I'd still have to admit that it looks very clean and good.

It's a shame that someone would hit-and-run a Mugen Si, shows they obviously have no respect for rare cars. Pathetic people... :\

I saw some idiot in an ep3 the other day...Had HIDs, custom paint job, tint, etc.

Cut his springs and was dragging his gas tank. There were sparks spewing out behind him.

rims are really not that glossy its the tire shine that makes look them like that in the picture. I will take some pictures of the rims without the tire shine so u can see rim better

Lee_eg6si · 10-21-2009, 06:30 PM

HI there,

I was looking into buying a 2008 Mugen Si. I was wondering what comes with the Mugen package such as, suspensions, interior (shift knob and etc), motor and etc. So I know what to look for, in case someone took it out and replace it with something generic and cheap. I appreciate your time.

Thanks

Not enough. Unless you're looking for a headache with the haters out there that just love to rip off these so-called "exclusive/rare" cars.

Save yourself the trouble and steer away from it. Unless you have a garage and a second daily driver.

There's nothing extra with the engine. It's still the exact same one in the Si. Shift knob is different, suspension is a slight upgrade, wheels, that's pretty much it.

i-VTEC_DOHC · 10-21-2009, 09:43 PM

the blacked out front end im diggin. but dont get pulled over for that.
and i know your visibility is going to be reduced

vladd · 10-22-2009, 04:12 AM

i really like the tinted headlights, has it made a big difference in light output? i'd imagine so, but who knows. not liking the painted wheels though; the original color was way better.

chawski · 10-22-2009, 06:06 AM

dc4danny? where are you in philly? im right off market street, bout half way bw center and old city. that body work looks fantastic

Newkdog · 10-22-2009, 06:21 AM

I like the black rims on the blue car. Looks real good. Although I am not feeling the headlights and tailights. How are people supposed to know when you are braking or that your headlights are on?

94BlkCivicEx · 10-22-2009, 10:01 AM

Pretty damn good body work and paint job

robert@bisimoto · 10-22-2009, 05:23 PM

When the lights are on you can see right threw the black there not as dark as they seem in the pic's. I have hid's in the front so there still pretty bright..
