yup, I'd have to say that the kit on the prelude is poly... I saw it being backed out of the shop while my car was being worked on and the front bumper dragged on the ground slightly... it flexed, popped right back, and had the low-pitched scraping sound of poly vs. the higher pitched "crap it might break" sound that scraping fiberglass makes.

marty

its fiberglass.

the full front facia bumpers from mugen are made of fiberglass.

" mugen lips " are made of a high density " plastic " not polyurethane.

edit: As for the " Mugen Lude " they made a front lip for it which was plastic. If the had the full front bumper from mugen it would have been fiberglass.

OWNED! i knew that thing looked too light to be urethane.

marty

Actually to set a record straight. Mugen only started using "plastic" for all cars 99 and up. before that a foam posite material was used instead. for those who knew of my mugen rear wing for my CRX it was foam, not poly, not fiberglass.

i guess depends for what car. but for the crx? poly? NEVER !!!

Urban Business

the wing on the back of the lude is the foam. rest of kit is all polly or something like it. its definatly NOT fiber. if you want i'll take a pic of all the missing paint from the front. if it was fiber the front end would not be on the car anymore. its a lip not a full bumper... could explain it... fiber sucks no matter what name is on it

More Useless Garage, Expensive Nonetheless

for a person who likes my car and vice versa you crack me up

Tyson

Last I read, Mugen uses FRP, fiber reinforced plastic for its bodykits. Its a strong yet lightweight composite, not the same as fiberglass or urethane plastic. harder to manufacture and therefore more expensive. wings and spoilers may be different.

yeah sure, if you just want the looks, mugen is quite expensive. they do perform, not just styling.

chhuong

tyson you are correct, but it is more based like fiberglass. It can flex a lil, but if it has to flex too much it'll crack.

Tyson

well, right, fiberglass is a composite, so it FRP, urethane isnt, so therefore its more like fiberglass than urethane, but its neither, and better than both in weight and strength, and more costly, which is the point.

kyler

yup! they dropped in a tranny for me as I puked the mainshaft bearing on the last one. Just wish they'd get some more blank chips in so I can buy a couple progs. good kids though

bryant

I used to have the Mugen rear spoiler. It was made out of some type of foam or somthing, because it would bent but go back to its original shape. But dumb me I sold the thing to JDMhondaparts.com

Marty is there anyway you could get ahold of another one?

Driven

Least someone see's the humour in it... it's all in jest, i just wish more people got my deranged sense of humour.

marty

get another mugen wing? yes i can.

driven. your sense of humor is accepted by the moose

bryant

Well as soon as I get some more cash flow. I will shoot you an IM. (Should be no longer then a month.)
