Heres a pic of the real Mugen sides straight from the Mugen EG catalog.

I have some real Mugen sides but I'll have to take some pics of them. From what I can tell the real Mugen sides don't have the little resest area under the door like the Wings West do, or at least not as much. The only real good way to tell the difference would be to put them side by side and compare.

I just searched and looked through a ton of FAQs and the only thing I came up with was grinding the rivet off, but I don't buy that. There has to be some other way. You know Honda techs have done it a million times. It's probably on here somewhere though, has to be.

The rear wiper arm or blade?

The arm simply pulls off with some force. If you mean the blade then, no I dont know. Mine fell off years ago and replaced it with the factory plug

I can't stop looking at this '92 DX hatch in Honda Tuning, kind of reminds me of your hatch bigjoeEG6, except it doesn't have side moldings, doesn't have foglights, and has a CF "spoon" spoiler. But the main thing that caught my eye was the 16x7 Work Emotions, and he totally pulls em off. 33 offset, it's sick.

What surprised me though was this guy spent all this money on his hatch, and it looks so clean and everything, then threw on a fake Mugen valve cover? But whatever, it looks good (to those who don't know any better), I'm just picky about certain fake things. It goes ITBs, fake Mugen valve cover, HyTech header. At least he likes function over form, and has a shlew of nice parts to make up for it.

But then again, maybe he just loved the look of a Mugen but wanted to have it on his engine everyday, which is understandable, because they're like $1,000 new and that would suck if it got scratched.

my hood rubs on the edge of my valve cover just enough to smudge the paint. i guess it's from my hasport mounts, cause it didn't rub at all with my factory mounts.

all i know is i would be fvcking livid if i popped my hood and saw my $1k valve cover was scuffed.

^ Bingo

Rok Stok - i know what you mean dood. i thought the same thing when i read that issue of Honda Tuning as well. But then again, i don't blame him seeing the cost of the real VC, however, going that far, you might as well go all the way...'gotta pay to play'

I found this, it's not mine, but Mugen RGs aren't something you see on an EG very often (16" 5 lug +50). Gorgeous.

Flat = stock

Convex = shaped to see more of the blindspots but objects appear to be smaller

240mm = stock size

270mm = 1" bigger

I got a 400mm convex one for $25. i could look into the mirror and see threw the driver and passenger windows.

got mine from www.advancespeedshop.com
