What is the difference?
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between the genuine Mugen formula valve cover, and the knock off one. I know that the Mugen oil cap will not fit on the knock off, cause of the different thread patterns. But is there anyway you can tell by just pictures ? Thanks in advance!

look closely at the position of the n. also i believe the mugen one is baffled? not sure. </TD></TR></TABLE>
Look at the "E", as well. On the real deal, the spacing between the letters is even. With the fake (at least, the fake pictured) it looks as though someone was in a rush. The spacing between the "M" and "U" looks right, but the rest of the letters are too bunched together.

valve cover leak? you sure you used the right gasket?
at least paint it yellow so honda boy 50feets away can tell you just spend couple hundred dollar to impress them. OH WAIT, that would be spoon.
The cf mugen sparkplug cover cost 300bucks for my car, way to go mugen

Yep hes right. The circled part shows how the N matches up with the bolt, which means its authentic.
