Mugen emblem question

this is probably a stupid question but can anyone with a mugen front bumper help me?anytime i see a pic of a mugen lude they always have the front emblem "floating"in the middle of where the grill used to be.Do you just use some scrap metal and rig it up so that it gives the emblem something to hang onto or is there some easy trick im missing?heres a pic of what i mean.

Well the mugen bumper itself has something to hold it up behind it.

That's all.

^it might not, it's a replica.

If it's a good replica then maybe but I wouldn't put a mugen badge on a replica part, my .02.

ya i know what you mean.im certainly not going to try to pass it off as authentic or anything i just love the look of no front H emblem and only the sweet word MUGEN staring at you through the open space that used to be the grill.

Authentic mugen bumpers are molded with fiberglass thats 17.3% magic. There actually is no mounting bracket for the emblem as it actually does just float there. Though in late 1999 mugen ran out of their supply of magic so the later versions of the bumper came with mounting brackets.

Talking about the emblem I bought a kit from Nick at Elite JDM, yes an authentic kit. It did not come with the emblem and looked on ebay and get all kinds and I don't really know which one to get. Any help would be good, thanks.

Ahhhh...that must be why they cost so much. Magic is expensive. It all makes sense now....
