Different side skirts... MUGEN front to match.. ?

Sup everyone... not sure if this is the right section for this considering there is a combination of both 5thgen pics & a 4thgen... so this was the only level playing field I could think of; and since this thread might end up having several pics... figured why not here.

As some of you might know I currently own a 4thgen lude and have Sat on my Mugen front bumper for a couple of years now... something that ppl have scold'd me about quite often haha

Anyways the hunt for matching Mugen sides seems almost impossible and alot of ppl are aware of that. So my next option is to use something else, but that "something else" has look similar to the 4thgen Mugen sides. 4thgen Mugen sides have a nice clean sqaurish look to them with a slight dip in the front center.

So Here are some of the option that I've thought about and I need help identify what 5thgen sides skirts these are. Everyones help is Greatly apprecaited!

4thgen Mugen sides






5thgen sides: Need help identifying these please and give your opinion as to how it will look with the Mugen front.







2nd Option 5thgen sides: Need help identifying also.






Also... I know SOME one (4thgen) on here has atleast attempted this (using 5thgen sides)... input please.


this is the Mugen front.

yea but the WW sides hang to low for the Mugen front.... and I'm not crazy about the round Tube like look that the OEM sides have... nahmsayin?

It might look alil better once I get the bumper painted but I have a feeling that the sides will still look lower.

Yea the're coo... but I don't like I they rise up on the body. The bottom of the front bumper has a line that flows to start of the Mugen sides... so they match up on the Top and Bottom part of the side skirt.

Since there is a lift on the value sport piece... the "line" won't flow well... imo.

well shoot....I am now going to watch this topic. Same here buddy, I sit with my mugen front and nothing around to even it out. However, looking into sides I have come accross accord sides that look deep enough for the mugen bumper. However they come with out that little dip. I have been tossing that around for some time now, it would be cheaper, and it looks clean. But I want the real as it can get. lol!

how about 5th gen oem side skirts? Should be plenty out there. I don't think the mugen sides would look right. Since I'm off again tomorrow. I plan to do a leakdown test. Cheers Ceasar.

thats what I was gonna say, accord sides. They are a little "larger" than stock, plus they have that nice rear flair. I think they'd do real nice.
