You sure? That bronze is so hard to replicate, that sets from the factory didn't match from batch to batch. The green, red, and gold flake that's in the bronze powder is in exact ratios and is layered in a specific method. Taking a powder/flake mix 'in the sun' doesn't work. Once the wheel is baked, the color will take a very different tone than the one found on an original finish.

BTW, that bronze base that's used is specific to one powder manufacturer in Japan. My uncle owns one of the largerst powdercoating manufacturing companies stateside. The closest we've gotten to get the factory bronze is the CE28N/TE37 bronze (it's a little darker, and slightly more flat).

BTW2, I'm a HUGE MF10 fan. I've owned 18 sets in the past 6 years for my S2000, CRV, and Integra (currently have 5 sets...one set still sealed in the boxes from the Mugen factory). I've even met and still keep in touch with the man that designed the MF10 wheel for Mugen.

I haven't gotten any tail gate fasteners yet. I should get some...huh.

Actually, I'm kinda falling out of my "Mugen" craze. I'm just not liking the direction where MTec is taking the Mugen brand.

It was great when they had more parts for sale that required actual R&D...but now, things like door sill plates??? Crap.

He was only a designer of the original design (which was for the ITR and the S2000). I'm sure they thought the MF8 would suffice for the 4x100 folks.
