hey there i was just wondering what the difference between the two kits were..

i just bought a crx(australia) and it has a bodykit which the owner says is mugen..ii just dont know the difference ? i mean id like it to be mugen definately but if not doesnt bother me really..

so yeh just wondering if u could let me know of the differences between them
thank u

 

Mugen was the originator of that style which WW copied - not very uncommon with body kit manufacturer's. I'm pretty sure the Mugen kit is fiberglass and the WW is urethane. Just because it's fiberglass doesn't mean it's a real Mugen kit though. The copycat manufacturer's can use fiberglass and recreate kits a lot easier than urethane. Thus the reason you can buy a "Mugen 7 pc. Body kit" on Ebay for $300.

since you're in Australia, i'd put money on your kit being the real-deal Mugen.

 

what do the Aussie crx's look like? Like the USDM or Like the JDM? The Mugen kit is made to fit the JDM crxs, therefore if it doesn't have the jdm front end then it's probably not a mugen one. does it look like this:

or this:



the later is the jdm front, I'm sure they have copies of the JDM kit but this is one way to see at a glance if it might be or not.

 

The WW RS body kit (Mugen copy) was also available in fiberglass, it was super heavy, especially the door caps. The real Mugen version has small rectangular indentions on each side skirt, right behind the front tire, for the emblems to be installed, and the WW version is smooth on that part. But beware, there are other company's making copies, one of them is Erebuni, which offers the same style kit with the emblem indentions on the skirts. If you need more info, mail H-T member Gokooljapan, he's the man when it comes to Mugen products.

There is two versions for the Mugen aero kits..They have one version for the Si and another for the SiR...

 

IM mugenef7? on the board. he has the real mugen kit on his crx and should be able to tell you

 

yeh mine has the small indentations in the same spot as u said..
ill still IM a coupla ppl though...

thanku everyone

 

mugen made 2 styles.....1 for the SIR and 1 for the ZC crx......difference in the REAL mugen kits and the WW:

ZC....may look closer to the WW kit, but the front air dam holes are short and the bottom part looks sharp......the rear tow hooks are covered......

SIR....front totally different, as seen on that burgundy SIR. the front opening is much larger since the front bumper support is just a thin piece of metal.......and the rest is the same is above.......also the rear bumper has a screen that covers the large opening, and the rear rail is silver.......

another thing is that on the inside of the kit there should be a mugen stamp in the inside part......
and fitment is near PERFECT.....
