Hi and welcome hockeygoalie29

White is nice

rendeljr · 01-09-2003, 02:03 PM

That's a damn nice car. Not feeling the rims too much, but otherwise, very very clean.

Luke- How can you tell that's a real mugen? Or maybe hockeygoalie29 can clear it up for us whether or not it's a real mugen kit.

Specialque · 01-09-2003, 02:06 PM

look at the wing...it's got an LED and is doesnt' come up higher the glass on the trunk, and I also have real mugen, so I know what to look for...

vir2L · 01-09-2003, 02:40 PM

umm notice his has the front license plate molding guys. I don't think real mugen has that guys

smart ass...j/k, the wing is the only real thing on the car, but the real mugen front does have indent

EDIT: the more I look at it, it looks more real to me...

Carol, you have the real front, shed some light on this for us..

LuDe2K1 · 01-09-2003, 02:55 PM

very nice and clean.. nice mugen wing.. i can't wait to get mines.. although mines is not the real mugen wing.. don't really dig the rims but hey to each his own.. other than that nice job! =)

SteveV · 01-09-2003, 03:01 PM

nice ride!

as far as the rims, I think the gold goes with the car, but I'm not fond of the spoke style. I used to have a white mugen prelude too. I see you painted the whole bumper white and didn't color the signal or grill areas...that's the way I had it done too.

TurkeyZ · 01-09-2003, 03:06 PM

Very nice car!! Very nice GTN's

hockeygoalie29 · 01-09-2003, 03:29 PM

hey thanks for the comments guys.

and nope, it isn't genuine mugen at all!

the whole kit is replica, including the wing. cost me about 1k (parts + paintjob) for the whole thing as opposed to the several thousand it would've cost me for the genuine mugen kit. besides, i figured with the money i save i could spend it on other things, like the pair of corbeau seats i installed a few weeks ago

oh, and the LED on the wing is custom installed. i needed it since the car is an SH and doesn't have the standard 3rd brake lite behind the rear windshield.

about the GT-N's, a lot of my friends didn't think it would work out when i told them i about them, but after they saw it they all approved

i think the gold matches with the pearl white quite well IMHO...

here's some pics that autobuzz took for me:

Specialque · 01-09-2003, 03:36 PM

wow, the rep wing looks primo then...great job..

Accord2Lust · 01-09-2003, 03:50 PM

looks sweet man

tritonlude · 01-09-2003, 04:08 PM

haha, yeah, i dont think he woulda paint the brushed aluminum on the front bumper if it was real.

anyways, your car is cool, i likes mugen! and volks! haha, welcome.

whats the size, offset, and tire of your wheels? tia

vir2L · 01-09-2003, 04:56 PM
