Default Mugen ****** / OG Owners: Case Study on Mugen Plastic Badges


*Picture borrowed from dooster

1) How much would you pay for a 100% quality replica of the badge? Everything will be the same exact specs and finish.

2) Do you feel that will be demand for this product? How long will this demand last?

Thank you

Thank god the emblems on mine are perfect.

Personally I would not buy and use fakes, it's always be in the back of my head... The $20,000 or so worth of Mugen stuff that I have, but then flake out on buy a fake emblem, couldn't do it. I'm sure others won't mind.

On the other hand, what I don't know I guess won't hurt me...

Id pay about 5 bucks. Wouldn't put it on my car though. I think it would look cool on my entertainment center.

if that's accurately true, then too. if the specifications are of the real ones, or very close to it, then good stuff.

LOL, just about...

Really, just take my word for it. It's nothing to be happy about, it's pretty sad actually. I hang and shake my head in shame every time I look at it...

For me, it's not about being REAL just to show it off, some of the stuff is bling as hell there's no doubt about it, but look at MOST of Mugen's Wheels, all of my MF10s are lighter then the tires I wrap around them... and look at ALL of Mugen's Aero for every single one of their parts and/or kits, they're all wind tunnel tested and do what they're supposed to do. Best example I can think of is the DC2 Aero, the full DC2 package is simply amazing, how the front bumper works in conjunction with the hood and what it does is simply brilliant...

Truth.
Especially where it applies to the DC2.
Mugen threw more than average $$$$, time and effort at that platform with tremendous results.

99% of the HT Rota owners rock Rota's as Rota's. A quality wheel at reasonable price. This would be more like Rota wheels with Volk stickers.....

$5 is what I would pay for the badge, but would not put it on my car
