Ridiculous for a street car. After all the money you spend on that thing you could have actually had a real nice car.

well the kit was custom made so i would be the only one to have it. what i had to do was buy the real mugen kit and had them make me one in carbon fiber. lets just say right now i don't want to think about how much i've spent so far. bcuz if i do then i would wonder why i just didn't buy an NSX like i wanted too.

You had it custom made, and it fits like that?

Ouch!

Also, you won't get the aerodynamic benefits of the mugen kit if you don't install the lexan foglight/turn signal covers.

did you happen to weigh the pieces you replaced and the new ones to see how much weight, if any, you saved?

I think that they should rename this place Hater-tech. Why are you people so angry. I love CF, and while the fitment isn't perfect it looks distiguished. The money spent, well I couldn't justify it but to each his own.
