So i was wondering about the mugen body kit. I really want it cause in my opinion i think it looks nice without totally destroying the look of the car like some other body kits do.
Anyways thing i was wondering was where can i get a body kit whether it be the real one or not that looks the closest to mugen if not the real one.

And is the Type M from Extreme Demensions identical to it?

Or the wings west kit?

oh and if any of you have these kits can you tell me how it fits?
And in general how happy you are with it?

Thanks!

I swear there was a thread on this exact topic only a day ago

get the wings west kit, i had it on my last rex, for the most part it fit great, just had to drill the holes for the bumper mounting on the sides.

There is a company in the UK that make identical fibergalss replicas, there mould was taken from a genuine kit and fittment is great, as i have a kit from them myself. Let me no if you want any details ect

i had a wings west fiberglass kit like that on my rex when i got it. the peice of **** broke and chipped and didnt fit for ****! waste of time and money imo

TJChad

most fiberglass kits really suck imo, get a urethane kit, they actually flex so curbs dont completely destroy them. Just make sure your painter know how to pait it so it doesnt spider web and crack the first time you move it.

Has anyone had expirience with the duraflex body kits from extreme demensions?
Cause I was also thinking about getting the type m 6 piece body kit

I will also say the mugen kit looks amazing on the crx, but it is very hard to get a hold of and costs a fortune, so if you can find one take it, otherwise the wings west kit is almost exactly the same except for the corner signals. here are some pics of both

What about the type m body kit from extreme demensions?
Is it almost the same?

Brendon12

the mugen and wings west are just the popular ones, there are alot more companies that make the same kits

simple tech

I am also in agreance. The mugan is a sick kit and if i wasnt just going for that super clean jdm look i'd go for it. let me know which one you go with and how it fits. It just may go on my next rex.

Brendon12

my rex is going somewhat jdm with a b16b, I am interested in the kit but still thinking about it however my dad keeps urging me to get it if I wanted to go to the extreme, the mugen kit is the only way to have a body kit without being rice, if I dont get the kit I will just slam my car with some nice rims

Okay....going to date myself.

Back in the days, Hans in Alhambra, made duplicate Mugen kits. I did want one back then, but Fglass sucked. I had other Fglass kits and they ALWAYS cracked and simply chipped away. My sponsor back then turned me to use Kalamari...what a mistake. I forgot the other one I used...

I then found urathane kits that were availalbe from Pacific. It was the most durable kit I've had.

King Motorsports wanted an arm, a leg, your fisrt born and your house for the original Mugen kit back then. Importing an original was a very cost affair.

Now that company makes duplicate urathane ones!!! Fro those prices, I am planning to get the kit for my 88 EF hatch next year.

Mugen kits were kits for either 88-89 and 90-91. The 88-89 used the original marker and the 90-91 kits used the bigger markers.

LOL, I didn't even catch that! Yeah their mascot is a squid.

My bad...

Some of my race bike engines are built by Kalamari Racing. Wrong name...but still a squidish kit regardless....

bubba_crx

Good luck finding a real one... i had searched for 3 years and only found some beat up one and they wanted like $3k for it and it needed work...

closest thing i've seen is a jdm front end conversion, vis front bumper and wings west sides and rear..

I've heard Extreme Dimensions' kits suck so I wouldn't really trust anything from them.

reaper5559

Why do they suck? Just wondering.
Cause i was kinda suspicous on why the kits from them were hella cheap.

ExtraBlackRex

I hate body kits, I think u should just stick to lips and skirts, MAYBE a rear bumper and keep it at that but if I had to pick one, that Wings West Kit at the bottom straight owns..

Samuraij

Bad fitment.

crxsounds

I bought a car last year with front and rear Authentic Mugen bumpers. it also came with the clear lenses for the turn signals! And an authentic Mugen duckbill spoiler. All I need is the side skirts to make it complete. Do you have any more info about the urethane copies?

Trevor

I have an 88 CRX with a new never installed Wings west kit and a VIS Mugen copy front bumper. You can see pics in the link below. None of the kit has ever been installed. The bumper is just mocked up and it fits great.

Don't know if somebody posted this already, I didn't go thru the entire thread, but I saw some skirts here (bottom of page) don't know anything about this place tho:
