for the don't shift miss!! emblem, on the real one the "mugen" is small, the fake emblem has the "mugen" bigger

for the mugen equipped badge, on the fake one the mugen kanji line are smooth, the real mugen kanji is kinda jagged</TD></TR></TABLE>

Here's some more info:

This is what a real one looks like:


This is what the ebay one looks like:


The horizontal line on the shift grid is too thin. The red horizontal line is too short. The shape of the emblem is totally wrong (no curved edges) and the dimensions are off too (look at the space between the edge of the emblem and the 'D').

Also, the Mugen logo is too big.

The seller is also selling Mugen Equipped badges but those are fake as well.

Fake Ebay Emblem


Real Emblem


Take a close look at the Kanji on the fake ebay emblem. Notice how everything seems to be well rounded and on the real emblem it's not. Also, note that the top right hand 'hole' of the six holes and notice how it is closed off compared to the real one. Also the font used for the word 'Mugen' is incorrect.

G7 Facelift Sedan, namely 2006-2007 four door.

I'm serious, though...be careful w/the parts. They're going to be hard to come by and expensive, and you could make some expensive mistakes if you're not careful.

The JDM Inspire headlights, just for one example, are different from the USDM Accord headlights. They're different, but not better in any way and hardly worth the $900 purchase price just to be different.

IMHO, of course.

I don't know why
but the lip on that Inspire makes it looks to "family-ish" compared to the HFP kit for the Accord

Unless thats a whole new front bumper assembly...it looks like a 2 door front bumper with mugen fogs w/ lip kit...

i saw this on yahoo auction a while back.. i was tempted to get it for the daily beater... but i didnt want to deal with shipping on such a large item...

i think it was 6 piece kit or some sort.. including the wing

Seeing as right now I'm the authority on this particular 1 part, I'm in no position to show everyone how to more accurately duplicate them. Plus my dad burned the box when he cleaned out the garage last spring. Leave it to my father to keep three legged tables around 'just in case' but throw away the one thing I left at the house of any value.

As a result I didn't have the part number, like I told you nearly a year ago.

Contrary to popular belief, having a part # doesnt suddenly make a part appear.

...or from the eg2 catalog.

Seems like there is quite a lot involved in converting an 05 style Accord to use JDM parts. I looked into it briefly after I bought my daily driver.
