My used, Mugen tower bar for my DC2 GS-R arrived yesterday from Japan. Unfortunately, it does not have any instructions. It looks like I must cut the plastic to do this install. Does anyone have any pictures of their install or a template for the plastic cut? Thanks!

 

i should be receiving the diagram sometime this week. I can fax you a copy if you'd like when i get the diagram in. N Yes i believe you have to cut a small portion of the plastic panels.

Yeah, share the template unless you like to cut the caps freehand. I just taped them on and went at it with razor. Wasn't too difficult but watch the cap clips, they break relatively easily. I tossed the templates after the install.

Good luck

 

You wouldn't have any pictures of your install that you could post?

Sorry nope, I just looked at the pics of the inside of my car and none show the bar or install.

The install of the bar itself if pretty easy. The most complicated thing was taping the templates on the plastic caps and cutting then without cutting myself. I think I broke two clips it the process, (so maybe I'm not the one to do any explaining of installation) but when the caps are in place you'd never notice.


This link might help although the pics may not be available anymore:

The picture links are broken. These HAD what i was looking for.

 

here are some pics of my mugen gen 1. i used a dremel to cut out the plastic trim.




hope this helps

 

That helps a lot. I wasn't sure if I was missing some parts, and didn't want to cut the quarter panel plastic unnecessarily.

 

Here are the results. Thanks for the help!

 

Cool looks like you're missing the nifty rubber edging/piping that comes with the kit. At least it's in though...

JoO'vE gOt A gEn 2 bAr, must've missed that earlier.

 

Go get some door edging from pepboys, it'll clean up the edge nicely.
