Default Mugen front lip for 98 USDM front end: Is this the real deal?

The story:
I've been offered a Mugen lip kit, including OEM rear valances.

I got some pics but started thinking: Does Mugen even make a front lip for the USDM front end... Well, they do, at least for the 97... Meant for the JDM siR-II model.

But in this picture, it's clearly a 98 front bumper (area around headlights).

Now I think it's real, but won't be able to do a closer inspection until next week or so, when the seller has the parts from customs.

What's your opinion? I'll be sporting it for a while I think, until I go JDM front.
That's also why I want this kit, as he's selling the OEM rears with it



[EDIT] silly me, this is a LHD car... question becomes even more important now :S [/edit]

The picture shown definitely has a 98+ front end on it.

Since the lip doesn't have the riveted Mugen tag on it the only way to tell if it is real is the Mugen label on the back side of the lip.

IMO that thinig is faker than a $1,000,0000 bill. To me it looks like a Mugen style lip that is made for 98+ front ends.

answers as aspected... the lack of mugen logo kinda made me think this as well... anyway, will be nice to have on until I get the JDM front... it'll close up the holes for them OEM EDM fogs, which is a good thing

Guess I'll have to talk about the price a bit as well
Because fake front lip will most likely mean fake sides

Fake. It's modeled after the 94-97 Mugen chin spoiler, but there was never a Mugen chin spoiler made for 98+ Integras - only a full bumper for the JDM front end.

I am going for the OEM optional kit... after I get the JDM front end... until then I need something to keep the front bumper lipped

This is a temporary lip and I was wondering about it mainly for resale value and all that stuff...

You probably are already aware of this, but to answer your question you'll get very very little money for these. Surprised as hell you didn't know that these were fake before hand.
