Re: My New Roadster ( Project S2000 )
Hardtop is NOT Mugen.
Wing on the Integra is NOT Mugen (yes, I can tell from the crappy pics)
M7's are NOT mugen
Front bumper on the Integra is NOT Mugen
...and unless Mugen changed the sticker on the oil cap, even that is NOT Mugen.
Any close ups on the wheels; if not, calling BS on the TE37's too.
Sorry dude...why fake the funk? If you can't afford the real thing, don't pawn it off as it being real; eBay, Chaser, Rota, name it like you bought it.

Re: My New Roadster ( Project S2000 )
Let's see...I've been a "Mugen-head since '96" (been in Honda tuning world since '92). With that, built a full Mugen-ized DC4 and working on 2 Mugenized AP1's.
Hardtop: I've owned 2 FRP Mugen hardtops, and currently own 2 CF Mugen hardtops. This one has a clear-ish rear window, has a jankie rear window seal, sits awkward on the rear edge, doesn't meet the corner at the windshield frame right....
Wheels: they have the rounded lip/barrel that all Rota's have...am not 100% sure. I've tried comparing them to the pics of the TE37's I've owned on both my Teggy and my 1st S2K.
Oil cap: like I stated earlier, the sticker isn't printed completely like the Mugen one (there's a recommendation on oil weight printed on the sticker that isn't seen on this oil cap)
M7s: they didn't come with center caps "Rota-style"; rounded lip on the barrel
Front bumper on the Integra: doesn't fit in the corners or by the bottom of the headlights; notoriously the fitment of the knock-offs.
Integra wing: end plates on the airfoil are the give away as is it being curved.

Re: My New Roadster ( Project S2000 )
Here's what real Mugen looks like:
hardtops:
TEs:
Teggy:
with TEs:
with MF10's:
...and for the hell of it, more MF10's, JP Scaras, BBS LMs
and more MF10s (no tires, I'm broke)

I use ebay parts only when its for asthetics... Use the real parts for anything mechanical.
Mugen = overpriced and overrated. it sounds cool to have... but when it comes time to sell. the $3000 dollars you spent on buying there name, becomes $500. Its ok to use replica wheels and chaser bumpers. BUT PLEASE DO NOT GET AN EBAY TURBO KIT.

I don't live with my mom, she's my roommate.
Search the site and you'll see all my mommy-funded projects...something tells me I've had my driver's license longer than you've been alive; been in the Honda scene since you've been getting an allowance from your parents, been having sex with real girls since before your ********* dropped.In short, my 4 year old's Power Wheels is more authentic Cadillac Escalade than your parts are Mugen and Volk. At the very least it's licensed by GM.
Here's something to ponder, if your money is so tall, pockets are fat, bank accounts are Premier Platinum and so on, why are you rocking fake **** and driving Honda's? It might be your perrogative to use low-fund knock-offs, but then why play it off as real Mugen and Volk? Only reason people fake it is to try and garner more 'respect' from others that don't know better; you know the non-authentic friends, peers, the ones online, at meets, and so on. Kinda ironic that you call me out to have no friends.

I knew a kid named Andy Simas that owned a similiar Integra...and I knew of Branden Martin who owned a Prelude that he had built from Junior year into Senior year of HS (I grew up in Taunton..graduated from THS in 02)

Re: My New Roadster ( Project S2000 )
before you try to be a smartass, you might want to look closer at the pics, the pic of the real mugen cap you posted is different then the op's knockoff, luder94 was correct, shouldnt argue mugen with og triple og mugen ***** luder94
