TL's are kickass, We have 3 (1 05' and 2 TL-TypeS's) The RL is cool and has some cool features but i didn't like it that much, We just traded it in for a new 2010 Camaro 2SS RS. I drove the new TSX and found they were ok, I liked them just not the power plant. But since they put in a V6 I'm sure it only makes it that much better.

TL-S>RL>TSX and of course, Some Mugen on the sidesss

I just assumed RL was cream of the crop/top of the line. But being a type-s model I can see how the TL can compare. I just figured the TSX would be the most logical transition to the "next level" being luxury,4door, etc but still with a k24 that I could possibly have fun with. as i see it civic:integra::accord:tsx

some new/random mugen:

The RL is deff. the cream of the crop. SH-AWD, Navi, Curtains, Camera blah blah..
**** moved, Got an STi off the line lol Just to me more of an older persons car, Like grandma/grandpa. I like the sportiness/luxury of the TL-S, Has almost the same features minus SH-AWD and looks better IMO. The NEW TSXs are cool and semi quick just doesn't compare to either lol but i loved the interior/exterior. I agree on the TSX for the "next level" i would rather own an 04 TSX then a new one though

Id have to disagree. I would rather have a 6spd TSX than an auto RL. Now a 6spd TL Type S is a different story. Do you want power or MPG? and i think there are more mugen parts for the TSX anyways. I get over 30mpg in my 6MT TSX and i can imagine the RL and the TL-S don't get anywhere close with 280-300hp.

I myself would want a TSX 6-speed over a RL i was just saying as in niceness/comfy.

Actually, The TL-S get's around 22-23 MPG around town, And i don't have the lightest foot either. Also averaging about 26-27 mpg on my last trip on the highway. The RL was horrible with 16-18 mpg constant in the city and 22-23 mpg on the highway. And the Regular TL with a 1 or 2 MPG difference then the TL-S.

Had a question to all you mugen heads. How can I tell the difference from a fake mugen front strut bar and a real one. What signs should I be looking for. Pics would help too thanks. Tried the search. Came up with a thread but didn't really help me thanks.
found this on the internet http://www.importhorizon.com/mugenstylebartegcivic.html . the bar looks just like the real one except for the mugen on it. so i just want to know how u can tell if its real or fake compared to the one in the website.

Picking up a mugen gen2 wing next weekend. The owner strongly believes its legit and that the previous owner just shaved the emblems off the side. He says it pivots at the rear and adjusts from the front.

Whats the consensus Mugen guys?

i was going to say if it was white then it could be casey's old wing since i know that was shaved as well (previous owner as well). So his being an example it is possible whether this be the case or not.

i've been hearing the air foil is the biggest give away to tell if its real which so I'd focus on that I guess

Judging by those pics, Its fake. The underside of the foot and mounting brackets look to be all wrong. There shouldnt be a curve in the bracket.

Real foot
