Besides the badge, how about the brackets/mounts.....do the replicas come with the brackets and mounts as well?

Just 4 self tapping screws and some washers is all i used, and it worked like a charm. Also the real mugen tends to have a "sharper edge" along the bottom and fits on the bumper a lot better. But yes, is a waste of money in many people's minds.
