Default Is the WW DC2 body kit a knock-off of Mugen's

Hi, just wondering if the WW RS kit ( I think) for the DC2 is the knocked off of the Mugen's?? I know that the side skirts are alike, but what about the front lip?

I'm pretty sure WW got it off Mugen. Those side skirts have been around forever though.

From what I've heard, the Mugen side skirts are a little "smaller" or less "chunky" than the WW replicas. The front lip is basically the same but a few things are different.

can't remember exactly how the front lips look but i thought they were different.
The side skirts are VERY similar only the Mugen's go over the stock skirts while the WW replace them.

I have a genuine Mugen kit on my integra, i think that Mugen developed the kit very shortly after the DC2 integra was introduced in Japan, so its probably safe to assume that WW copied the mugen kit. heres a few pictures, someone else can post a WW kitted one for comparison. the kit includes the rear wing that WW also copied.

mugen didn't make a front lip for the 98-01 usdm front. so wing west wasn't able to copy anything for that one. they made some other lip that doesn't really look too great. and whoever thinks that mugen copied ww...

God, I think the WW/Mugen skirts would look so much better if they didn't have that "twist" in them.
