You could always try England, they have a habbit of turning up here either on cars or by themselves, there are few Mugen Pro2 kitted EF8's over here considering the number of modded EF8's there actually are!!

I have been looking for one of those kits for a good wial now. I have even looked for knock offs to fit my SiR front end but still no luck. You have to know some one in japan or be very luck if you get one. Any one know where I can atleast get a knock off mugen front end.

Good luck on your quest. Took me 3-4 years to find someone who could help me source one then paid about £1000 ($1600 approx) for a second hand full kit with damage. (needs repair) Easy to do though cause its made of fibre glass. Got loads of boat builders around here who are handy with fibreglass so it shouldn't cost that much! Cant wait to be old skool.

u can git the bumpers for around 100 US dollars(used, brand new only sold in kits from my pops nfo). but shippin costs anywhere from 150-300 bux . 150ish for boat, and like 300 for air. turns into a 400-500 bumper after shippin.

had my pops go lookin for em. he lives in osaka japan. they actually still retail them but rarely. 2 outta 12 shops had the kit. and was around 1200 US for the whole kit.

he refused to buy it for me, he called me crazy to want something that it costs more to ship than to buy.

I highly doubt they're JDM, but scroll down to Honda, and there's some Mugen stuff. I always thought it was the real deal because I've never heard of anyone besides Mugen Inc making these kits for the 1st gen CRX.

hey gator,

as far as i know the yahoo. auctions you need to give them your japanese credit card information, and they call to check if its an active account. you can sign up but you cannot bid without giving them your credit information. can not use US credit card due to the number sequence is different in japan, (as far as i know reading the every auction post) every thing is paid for by credit card only, no money transaction. it use to be set up through ebay japan, but due to too many complaints ebay dropped them and yahoo took up the challenge. i just have my cousin bid and pay for ****,, then have it shipped to me. if you need a zip. click on an auction and use a free language program to translate , you can find a business address and zip easily.....

So much for VISA , I thought is was suppose to be everywhere you want to be. Anyways, while the JDM Mugen Kit is pretty tight, it's the thought of paying even just $900-1g for the front bumper (this was what KingMotorsports qouted me about 1 1/2 years ago, maybe even longer). And to top it off it's made of fiberblass. Man if I had that kit on my wifes car right now it wouldn't even last. I have one word for you all that know what I'm talking about <U>CALIFORNIA</U> it's hard to maintain your cars exterior, because Cali people don't even know how to open their car doors while respecting other people $hiet. If I had that kit it'll be a strictly show car.

However you will be envied should you manage to get one. I really like them but for the price of the entire kit; that's a turbo kit for the wifes Rex.
