I might come into possession of a mugen gen 1 wing. The emblems are slightly faded and might want to pic up another set before it gets painted.

Can someone point me in the direction of where to get authentic ones?

Also, how do I ensure that it is authentic or is there even replicas made of the gen 1?

I might be trading my front ITR seats for it. Would this be a good trade?

Thanks for your help

 

wow hell NO! dont ever trade ur ITR seats for some emblems LOL.. i found gen 1 emblems on ebay for 45. and the wing is worth 900 tops with emblems. theres some guy selling a set of emblems for 80 bucks on NWP4LIFE or something like that

 

sorry i think you must have misunderstood me.

I am trading my front ITR seats for a mugen gen 1 wing.

Would this be a good trade?

Also if anyone has any pics of a gen 1 wing on a USDM PY itr that would be great. I tried searching but the one person I could think of took off all his pics. Blah

 

also if u search around im pretty sure theres some dude selling the gen 1 for like 600

 

If the spoiler is in good physical condition I'd say that's a pretty even trade. Good condition spoiler w/ good condition badges averages $600-800. I bought mine for $650 with mint emblems.

 

Why in the hell would you want to put knock-off emblems on a legit Mugen wing? IIRC, there aren't many (if any) emblems which are made to look 100% like the originals. Might as well just pay 1/3 the price for a knock off wing and be done with it.

Also, IIRC, there is a member here who can get you legit Mugen emblems for said wing. Dont remember who though. I am sure he will chime in.

 

i wouldnt do it. just saying the seats are probably worth more then the wing

 

On a related (but completely useless) note... does anyone else find that wing to be hideous?

 

i got my gen 1 from my cousin for 400. found a pair of genuine emblems for 45 on ebay. the exact size of the emblems are 1/2 x 4.33 inches.

 

lol i say the 2nd gen looks better but i have a 1st gen cuz i got it for supercheap lol so whatever floats your boat

 

(not on you, or your finding "genuine" emblems on ebay, but of them actually being "genuine".)

Oh, and I found that post. User selling the real deal emblems did the 1st reply in the thread... regarding that though... for the cost of an actual wing and emblems I would much rather have a set of very nice tires + cash in my pocket.

i got them checked out at cockpit, king motorsports, and if u dont believe ill take pics of replicas and my genuines u can way see the difference. the replicas look all sticker and shiny like while the emblems look like a actual emblem.. mugenracer tried to sell me replicas for 63 and Spids tried to sell me genuines for 250 or something like that LOL so im positive i have genuines and for those who still dont believe me im not gonna waste my time taking pics trying to convince u otherwise. like i said all it takes is alot of time and searching in this case since the emblems are discontinued. u might think it bs that i found genuine emblems for 45 i just think ur mad that u didnt catch it first lOL

 

Thats okay, no pics needed. I dont care that much. If you were able to get them for that price, and they are indeed real then you got a sweet deal. Of course, if you got some knock-offs which are made so well that you cant tell the difference, who gives a flying fig anyway? I sure wouldn't care!

 

NO.... it's beautiful

 

pm'd u the email of a guy selling real deal emblems for 80. gl hope he still got em

 

I'm sure there is some (former) GM designer who made that exact same argument about this to the people who gave it a green light for production...

 

Comparing the universally hated Pontiac Aztec to a Mugen spoiler is....strange. Sure some people simply don't like that gen 1, but there are scores of people who do. In fact, I would dare to say that it's more liked than disliked.

To answer the OP's question, the mugen emblems are no longer made. King Motorsports had a few sets, that's where I purchased mine 4 years ago, but they out of stock now.

The most common "fake" mugen emblem is made of thin aluminum. It has an embossed glossy feel, but is overall pretty flat. The real mugen emblem is made of plastic and has chrome "mugen" letters. It's thicker and has more texture.

It would suck to put fake emblems on an authentic spoiler, good luck on your search.

Oh, I do have both (fake and real) in my possesion. If you guys want pics, I'd be happy to take some to help illustrate the difference.

 

Why? They are both fugly yet functional...

Look, they even come in the same color!

 

LOL, that is true. The Aztec was indeed functional. That's about all it was.

I do admit that if the gen 1 didnt have those extensions pointing towards the tail lights, it would look 100% better.

But looking from Mugen's standpoint - the gen 1 is nothing more than the stock ITR spoiler with a molded gurney flap. Height/width are exactly the same as a stock itr spoiler. So I guess they added those downward extensions to give it a more unique look over stock.

 

So basically people paid $1500+ USD for a wing that looks worse than stock and was ever so slightly more functional? Oh wait, I forgot, they also get to rock some Mugen kit! w00t!

I keed, I keed... sort of... [flame-suit][/flame-suit]

 

I was actually asking for $200 shipped from Japan for two like new emblems. Congrats for getting them at $45, that person didn't know what they had. The market price on here for one used emblem is around $60-$100, depending on condition. **** I can't even get them that cheap from Japan.

Gosu, if you do buy my wheels I will throw in an emblem I have just sitting around and I can get you another at my cost. LMK.

 

No.


You need to understand that Mugen made no "fluff" parts for DC2. Its all wind tunnel tested, track proven and best of all uses OEM fittament. No rice here. Had that wing said APC down the side you might be on to something.

I am glad I read the thread before I posted. I was goning to suggest PMing you or "evilstar" for emblems.

 

I need some to but I might just go to honda and get the ones off the mugen si

 

Diffrent but real and cheaper

 

You know those wont fit, right? They do fit nicely over the Mugen logo of a gen 2 tough.
