silver gold color? kinda like zinc which some new oem parts are coated with? I was told they only came in black...
what wing? are they clips like those or something different?

ahhh...brackets for the ferio wing...not clips. makes sense and figured thats what you had based on your user name 
they don't look bad at all. i say leave them og since they are still functional. i didn't exactly trust rusted hardware which is why i bothered. plus you can tell right away from a mile away they are metal which automatically means real. painted could look like they are plastic which means fake
also did something similar to my gen1 emblem that came with the wing (worn down/faded from age like the clips)

after

I was happy with it for a while but ended up biting the bullet and just buying a brand new one for that shiny chrome finish (ICBmotorsports FTW!!)

Road test
Honda Civic Type R Mugen
12 out of 20
£38,599
Driven December 2009
(See other road tests)
Honda doesn't hang around. Barely three months after it releases the Mugen Type R Concept, along comes the real thing in full production spec and ready to buy.
The trouble is that each one of the 20 cars available costs £38,599 - a staggering sum for a hot hatch, no matter how exclusive it is.
However, for your nearly £40k, you do get a bit of star treatment. Mugen, the AMG of Honda, will tailor the car to your exact requirements, and you'll be intimately involved in the build process because Mugen engineers will be in constant contact with you. Even the engine's ECU mapping can be tailored to suit you.
Mugen doesn't like turbos, so the naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine with a new red line of 8,600rpm has had to be extensively retuned to generate the 237bhp and 157lb ft. That's 39bhp over the normal Type R. You'll also find stiffer suspension on this Type R, and the Mugen Civic has spent a fair amount of time in Honda's wind tunnel to get all those scoops and that faintly ridiculous rear wing working properly.
The results are impressive. It's an astounding car, because the whole thing feels so in tune with your every movement that you don't so much drive it as simply think it around the track. It's that intuitive. You feel like you're hardwired into the car. The throttle response is incredibly sharp, and everything feels brilliantly responsive, while a shortened gear change gives a quicker time between cogs, simply adding to the experience. Considering Honda gearboxes are already the snickiest in the world, this must've taken some doing.
As I only drove it on the billiard table tarmac at a track, it's difficult to know whether that stiffer suspension has affected the ride. But the concept felt better damped than the normal Type R when we drove it on UK roads in August, so there's no reason to suspect this production version will be any different.
The 20mm larger brakes deserve particular praise. When I drove the Mugen, it had been thrashed a lot before I got into it, but the brake pedal was still really firm under foot. No suggestion of fade here.
You can still go as hardcore as the concept by opting for sticky tyres or Recaros. Mugen will also charge you more money for taking away some car (you can shed 86kg by ditching the rear seats), but this version should be enough. Adding yet more pennies to a £38k Civic, even one as brilliant as this, just isn't worth it.

Well this weekend was the Kamispeed meet in Orlando. Drove 237 miles up and 237 miles back in 1 day! I meet a lot of great people and got to see a couple of old faces! I left my SD card at home so no pics from me.
Here are some great pics from the VVS, CLPark, and djdorifto! Some great Photographers we have on SFLS2k.com

I don't know. There was so many people and cars there I could not keep track of names. Everybody there had name tags and I still did nott catch a lot of names even just having a conversation with them! He has a Silverstone S2000 with a Mugen Style hardtop with a nice drop!

nice pics of the s2k...always a fan and looking great as usual

hard to say if i like the mf10s or the m7s more.
Yeah, they're making a car that isn't fast, but that they say can handle well, and most importantly, is fun to drive. The CR-X got great gas mileage, especially the HF, and it was extremely fun to drive. The same will apply to the CR-Z, and hopefully it brings back good memories for CR-X owners.
