Try ebay, if not that, check out http://www.extremedimensions.com or even wingswest.com they all sell either the mugen front or the copy cat, WW front end.

 

to get the real mugen kit or a copy of the real mugen kit you'll have to get it direct from japan. im talking about the one you posted, sir headlights, and wrap around turn signals, no wings west crap.

i seriously looked into and its way to expensive.... i was told to ship the front bumper would be almost as much as shipping a whole car.... so ya, that what im doing.

You can't get "just the bumper." Since the Mugen front is for the SiR front end, you would at minimum also need the SiR headlights, SiR hood, and the SiR bumper turn signals for it to fit.

Also, good luck finding a real Mugen kit that you can afford. Those things cost as much as a complete CRX Si in good condition.

Might as well get the Wings West RS replica - though it does't really look the same since it's made for a USDM front.

 

ihey guys

i already have the cmplet front end convertion. so im set for the bumper.......cost isnt an option as i have seen them for sale before just never got there in time

 

Any body knows where to get an exact mugen copy dosent matter if it fits the jdm or jdm ?

 

wouldn't it be cheaper to have a body shop modify a WW RS front?

the WW civic bumper doesnt look like the real one at all. its more like the crx bumper for a civic.

Yep the real mugen front is way different then WW on the hatch.

 

I'm in the same boat as you... I've look and looked and never found one. I ended up with the WW RS one and modded it.... does not look as good as the real thing. If you know someone in japan I found this:



Here's the link to the web site:
http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co...04110

Its like a ebay for Japan but its by Yahoo.
I did the conversion and right now it is at about $110 for the whole kit. It has 4 days left.

I wish I knew someone over there

 

Just ask Sochiro H. to send it over...he's a cool **** j/k

 

Heh I wish I could. I put that page thru a traslotor and from what is said the kit is new and unpainted. must be a knock off but damn..... Its just what I've been looking for.

BTW: This isnt the first one I have seen on that site.

 

What modds did you do to the kit ? Im thinking of modding it to fit the sir headlights and bumper lenns

 

WW kit is an EF7 replica.....not EF8. EF7 stuff will fit USDM, i believe.

 

Well, I took a die grinder to it. Had to remove some of the material away from where the headlight would go. There is about a 1" gap between the bumper and hood. You cant tell unless you are looking at it up close.

This one you can see the gap:




But not to bad from up high lol:


I'd still rather get the real mugen or a replica of it with the wrap around headlights.

 

Nice car please get rid of those rims! haha you can buy my 15 te37s... My front end looks like *** compared to yours but I got a jdm front and just lookin for the bumper to match it up..

 

Yeah, I bought them off a friend. I just wanted to play with the Azenis tires on them. 215 45 16 ..... they grip like a ****! hehehe I can't even lock the breaks anymore.

 

The black kit above is a replica kit... it doesn't fit very well from what I've heard, but a friend ordered it... I'm waiting for him to tell me how fitment is...

on the other hand... I have access to genuine Mugen kits... not for buying, but I can persuade someone to take it off and have a replica made... in CF!!!

problem is:
1. me and the kits are all in europe
2. shipping sux

but yeah... it's absolutely doable to get a kit and replicate it...

ow and just so you guys know:
- Mugen did make a kit for the non-siR nose, but that's even rarer than the kit we all want
- 90-91 crx's in japan ALWAYS are siR shape... (that's the reason the 'normal' kit is so rare...)

ah well....

 

for the price and shipping plus it not fitting right I would still either convert my front end to a EF8 or get a WW kit. I've found a few places that have nice kits as well but the shippping plus custom fees are just outrageous

 

do not want to deal with. IMPORT FAN/ GTP. They are hands down the WORSTservice company I have dealt with in my 40,000 dollars worth of experience. There "BLUE CLASS" kits are terribly constructed and their service is even worse!!

I have an obligation to let as many people know about my horrific experience with them.

TrueNorthStar I think it looks good I dont know if you remember but I was talking to you about doing the same thing in another post . Dont look bad so i guess ill do it . any body think of cutting the bumper to fit the jdm bumper lens ? this guy did it but it looks like he needs to cut more on the inside & make a bracket to push out the side that curves . Tell me what you guys think http://www.psylence.com/Automo....html ya its a civic but is a ww bumper so how much different can it be

Is that who makes or sells that kit I posted?

 

TrueNorthStar - about your inability to lock up your brakes with the azenis, try getting some stainless steel brake lines, some good hawk pads and possible rotor upgrade - your tires traction is better then the coefficient of friction between your pad and rotors, not that that's a bad thing, I had azenis and upgraded brakes. I was able to lock them up, but with the upgraded brakes my stopping distance improved quite a lot. Too bad my car is still missing in action.

Keep your eyes peeled for a black 88 si with bronze c8's, azenis, full suspension/brakes and hybrid single cam vtec swap

 

Yeah the Mugen SiR front bumper is the best looking one IMO. The wrap around lights really help. I've just about given up trying to find one. I wonder if the Mugen SiR bumper would fit a USDM CRX? Assuming you had the lights to put in it.
