Car update Mugen Body Kit

ski1297 · 03-05-2011, 12:40 PM

My car was rear ended about a 4 weeks ago. So I thought it was a great time to get the Mugen Body Kit. I added the Front Under Spoiler, Side Spoilers and Rear Under Spoiler to the Grill and Ventilated Visors I had on the car. I have the wing and sports silencer exhaust in the works. Also plan on adding 15" Black Enkei RPF1 wheels with some Michelin MichelinHydroEdge with Green X tires in the next week or so. Still on my quest for a carbon fiber hood but no luck as of now.

Looks great, where did you get the kit from?

I got the kit from King Motorsports Unlimited, Inc. and the work was done by Dave at Perfect Shine Detailing Perfect Shine Detailing | Facebook

thanks for the info... I was actually just thinking about getting the side skirts, do you know how they attached to the car? Is it a do it yourself job?

Mugen will give you all the parts to put the side skirts on. You could do it yourself, but I did not want to do it myself. Thought it was best to have someone with experience put it on. The car needed body work from the rear ending and I wanted a full detail before the kit went on. The fit of the body kit is just over the top! Exceeds OEM specs.

Wow, that looks nice. Any idea the effects on mpg? Glad you are ok and your car. Just cosmestic damage?

Hard to say on the mpgs. It's a bad time of year to get a good read. But it has helped on the highway when the wind is blowing. It doesn't push the car around as much.

Most of the damage was cosmetic. Im a sucker for detail. So it had to look better than new.

Wow, your car looks great !

Comment: Your gonna love the MichelinHydroEdge with Green X tires.
I have them on my Insight II and I cant get over that a tire company made
a High Performance tire that also works great in the rain and increased my milage !!

Question: Did the body repair shop have to cut the rear bumber to attach the rear under spoiler ?

Thanks for the tip on the MichelinHydroEdge tires!

I dont think they had to cut the rear bumper. They did have to remove the stock rear under spoiler, to fit the Mugen bumper.

Ski nice kit,

I have mine on as well, though I opted to leave off the grill because I like the stock grill better. I'll post some picks when i get a chance
