Default need help with determing authentic mugen side skirts

hey guys

so i bought an '01 itr a while back and it had a whole bunch of mugen goodies on it which i have decided to sell them.

im trying to figure out whether the sides are real or not, cuz i suspect they're fake, ive tried to do a google search about it, but i couldn't see anything, so i thought i would just start a thread myself.

I see no stamp, but im not sure where or what the stamp is for sure, is it something that can be peeled off or is it imprinted into the skirt? im not sure if its been painted over or something.....

any help with this would be great, im just not very familiar in this field, but i am aware that wings west makes these skirts.

They look like the real deal to me. The WW ones has different weave pattern and they don't have bottom mounting holes either.

Lol depends if it's authentic or not, I had one guy offer 550 (he thought they were real). I have a thread for my mugen stuff, also got a gen 1 wing and FG360 wheel.

ya i know what you mean. i actually just had a guy from honda tech text message me last night and he says that if the brackets/holes match up with the stock itr skirts (where the door meets the frame) than they are legit, wings west skirts have different braket placements than stock. so given that info it tells me they're real cuz i actually had them right over top of my stock itr skirts, i never took them off. still wish i had that sticker though ...shoulda made it engraved :@
