Not a fan of unpainted body panels, but to each his own.

Also it's far too obvious that those are fake Mugen parts.

There is no Mugen badging on the front bumper.

There are no Mugen badges on the uprights of the wing and the center section is not the same design as an authentic Mugen wing.

This is true.

I would never paint a car unless I had to.

Yes, all the parts are mugen replica parts. I'm not ashamed to admit that I would rather spend the left over $$$$ on mods to make the car faster and handle better. The intercooler is on the way. I have a rev hard 2c turbo kit( along with other goodies) going on the car within the next week or so. The hood is cf not unpainted.

I was not trying to knock you.

I just wonder why people who make copies make them look different.

I would think the thinking would be to make it look exactly the same as the original.

All that trouble to change the wheel, and you did not even get the SRS wheel? I see no roll cage, so I doubt that the car is tracked (sorry for changing a noun to a verb).

What about your passenger, you don't care about their safety either? If you were going to go through all the trouble of making your car look like a moogen mobile, you should have gotten the real thing!

Other than that, it looks good

I would never buy a SRS wheel. It's practically the same as the stock wheel.

He never said he had a cage or tracked the car.

What made you bring up safety?

Have you been eating paint chips again?

I got a REALLY good deal on the wheel so i jumped on it. The car will be occasionally tracked once the car is tuned properly. I don't expect to run quick enough to be required to need a cage. I'm suprised that with all you guys picking the car apart that no one noticed the door handles.

The assumption was that it was track driven when he started ripping airbags out, I mean why else would you do that on a car that is mainly street driven?

What made you bring up safety?

Looks very nice. Is the middle part of the wing painted black?

Where did you get that hood?

yep, the middle of the wing is painted black. I got the hood from importfan. I don't recomend anyone buy from them. The fit on the hood is awful.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Who cars if you have replica body parts, it means money well spent on GO mods. If it was a show car there should be nothing but the real thing on there, but for a daily ripper, I say you did a fantastic job and you should keep up the good work!!

He would have even more money for "go" parts if he didn't buy any of the exterior parts.

Nice car though.

I see you installed the door handles from a 4dr teg . That looks so clean. I think it is stupid to completely shave the door. Just hope you kept the lock on your trunk
