i highly doubt they are authentic but in the long run who really cares?ill take the cheaper replica stuff anyday and achieve the same look and function as the ridiculously expensive authentic things.pedals are pedals.its not like the authentic mugen pedals have some magical power that the replicas dont

.just save yourself some cash.

+1, replicas ftw to save big pockets of money [=

for that price there most likely replicas, but if you really wanted to know. here is a "real vs. fake" thread which explains how to tell them apart.

i was thinking about getting those a couple months back, but i have other priorities with a new house, and i just couldn't really justify spending that much for pedals. they're sweet though, and look authentic to me

So it looks like the ebay auction I posted above are fake mugen pedals, however if there form and function is practically the same, should I ask for a refund?hmmm....

proluder00 · 03-19-2010, 12:27 PM

I get a refund, I figured if im going to get a fake, might as well get the $30 one.

Just don't try to play them off as real and it wouldn't be an issue for me.

indeed

I don't really see any point in getting aftermarket pedals but then my prelude is a DD. But if you want them get them.

donnyinlakai · 03-19-2010, 07:29 PM

pedals are for stomping on, not looking at.

proluder00 · 03-19-2010, 07:46 PM

Actually I was looking to replace my pedals because the rubber is really faded and the rubber makes an annoying sound against my sneaker when its raining out. I'm looking at getting the $30 set of mugen pedals.

I MUCH prefer my Mugen pedals over the stock ones. The rubber ones can get slippery etc when wet. Mugen pedals have GREAT grip and look great. They are a subtle way to really finish off the details in the interior.

Ditto. I bought some cheapo AutoZone pedals because I was tired of my wet shoes slipping off the clutch.

You guys must have some very slippery shoes
