mugen sideskirts fitment - Honda Prelude Forum

White98SH · 03-16-2003, 09:36 AM

I bought some Mugen replica sideskirts from our sponsor, poleposition.

went to test fit them today and had to dremel out some parts to get it on. But it still looks like it sticks out too much from the side of the car.

In the pics I've seen it's nearly flush. Does this look wrong to anyone? Click on pics for 1600x1200 versions.

and here's a pic for comparison:

From the sides I have seen in person, the Mugen ones always stick out just a bit.

oh, I guess the paint makes it less noticable. thanks for the pic.

I think sagapreludes sticks out that much, it does look like a lot.

well. My friend has the same side too, I think it's same, not too much different.

Mugen Sides

If only they matched OEM lip perfectly height wise and sat flush with the body.

Those stick out way too much. A bit of leeway is natural, but you're not supposed to have a step-ladder.

tritonlude · 03-16-2003, 06:56 PM

yea it doesnt sit flush with the body. dont worry, itll look good

Jon Like Wh0a · 03-16-2003, 09:07 PM

so wait, about how much is it supposed to stick out? i'm thinkin bout getting them...but that pic up there looks like there is a huge gap...

I love the mugen sides, but I wish they didn't stick out that much. If only they sat more flush with the side of the door. looks good though

SuperLude · 03-17-2003, 12:30 AM

mine look like that.. so i think its normal.

personally. i think it looks good like that.. it makes the base of the car look wider.

shik0me · 03-17-2003, 08:17 AM

Mine look more or less like that.

Yours *MIGHT* extend out a few fractions of an inch more. I'll have to see when I go out to the car later. I can post a pic tonight for reference.

Obrigado: The Mugen sides do match up perfectly with the OEM front lip

khilgers · 03-17-2003, 09:12 AM

Very nice combo. I have that exact setup. But the Mugen sides might not be aggressive enough for some - I like the OEM sides a bit more because they flare out whereas the Mugens go almost straight down.

But yeah, everything lines up perfectly (with good replicas of course) and it looks extremely clean.

khilgers · 03-17-2003, 11:13 AM

I just like the fact that the mugen side hang down lower than the OEM's

SuperLude · 03-17-2003, 12:07 PM

i got that setup.. and i think it looks nice. sometimes i wish i had a little more aggressive front though..

khilgers · 03-17-2003, 12:09 PM

superlude, your car is damn fine

shukuchi_2003 · 03-17-2003, 12:47 PM

That pic you posted is H22atypeS car. He has the authentic mugen kit. It fits perfect. You probably got a replica and mugen sides are suppose to be like that. I think it actually looks better that way. Normal. Go paint it and install it

White98SH · 03-17-2003, 02:15 PM

cool! once i get the suspension back in and kit painted i'll post pics. i'm also going with oem front, and mugen sides + rear.

can't decide whether to get the front and rear molded or not though. opinions?
