sup all, i first off wanna say, if this is in the wrong forum, i'm very sorry.. but i need to know exactly how u can tell from the real mugen valve cover from the fakes.. is there any type of characteristics about the lettering or what they come with? do they have a serial number with them?? is there anythin i can look at, that i will know it's the real deal.. any info will help, once again, if im in the wrong forum, i'm sorry, and please move it to the right forum.. thanx..

 

i think the paint finish on the real one is smoother?? not really sure though.

Are you trying to get the real thing?

 

Just search man. This topic has been throughly discussed. Make sure you search Archived Topics as well.

 

let jus say, i may have a chance at gettin a handful of them for a cheap price, and i need to know if there are real or not.. i've already did a search on this, and didn't really find a good source on the subject. all i've read is "is this a fake mugen cover".. one topic i saw, was disabled and it was prollie the one i needed. if anyone, can please jus give me some hints, it'll be greatly helpful, i'm not lookn for a long drawn out disscusion on this, or maybe link me to a topic.. thanks..

 

Judging by that info alone, I would say they probably are not.... sorry I can't be of more help.

anyone else? i can't explain it right now, but i realli need to know asap... thanks

 

mugen valve covers (genuine ones) are only avail in the grey finish, any other color, it's a replica. Also if you compare the pics of a mugen cover from king motorsports, with a replica one from say darkside motoring, you can see there is a slight font size difference and the lettering is offset to one side a bit more. Oh and it will arrive in a genuine Mugen box with the Mugen Equiped sticker

 

a real mugen valve cover will be a kinda off tanish greyish color.. the inside(undernieth side) will have a bronze/nickel color coat...also the mugen valve cover uses an oem honda crankcase breather nipple...the fake one doesnt...and the mugen comes in only one color unless u do what i did! if ur getting em for a goodprice my view is there not original MUGEN...there's no deals on the valve cover unless u buy it used or something..good luck dont get ripped off......
