Mugen Aero for the CR-Z has landed! *Unboxing pics* - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

Bulletproof ECO · 10-25-2010, 03:21 PM

Just thought I'd share some very exciting news -- we've received our first shipment of Mugen Aero products for the CR-Z. These are going out to a very lucky member of the community but I wanted to share it with you guys before they get shipped out!

For those who haven't seen a Mugen product before, it's easy to see why the prices are where they are -- you are pretty much getting OEM Honda quality. We originally were under the impression that these were FRP -- but it turns out that it is an incredibly hi quality urethane! Fitment is 100% spot on with these. Just look at these unboxing photos and you'll see what I mean!

The attention to detail down to the little things such as attaching the hardware/instructions via tape onto the interior of the box...if this isn't the perfect example of the "hype behind made in Japan" post I made a while ago, I don't know what is!

Again, OEM quality even down to the inscriptions on the backside of the sideskirts.

No chicken wire fence from Home Depot here folks!

And for those on the fence, I leave you with this parting shot...the guys here at the office were blown away by the quality, and we've seen our fair share of hi-end parts over the last 10 years, and this is right up there. Glad to see Mugen still doing the top notch work they've been known for!

I'm sad to see these leave us, but I can't wait to see them installed on a local car! The good news is that these are in stock in Japan so the wait time is not very long -- let me know if you guys are interested in ordering, and I can get you all squared away.

Thanks again Jason. I am currently getting it painted. I will post pics once I install it. Love that it comes with install instructions.

need to see pix of them installed or mocked up to see actual fitment please

kronzonly · 10-25-2010, 04:01 PM

Once I get them back from being painted, I will post pics of the fitment.

how long did it take from order to delivery?

EDIT: cant see the pictures at work

roddy · 10-25-2010, 06:17 PM

do they all come that color?

bizzybear · 10-25-2010, 07:31 PM

wow, those parts look great... i think this is one of the best looking accessories for the CR-Z... i don't see any pictures of the back diffuser or wing? i understand why, personally the front/sides are great... the back/wing are too much for my taste...

if i'm not mistaken, these "should" come paint matched already as long as u have a JDM colored CR-Z... so no NSBP in the US :sadwavy:

northbridge · 10-25-2010, 08:56 PM

sick. i forgot they come painted.

kronzonly · 10-25-2010, 10:56 PM

I wanted to order the painted one, but more then likely the paint gets scuffed during shipping so Bulletproof ordered me the unpainted one version. I should be getting the front and side skirts next week painted.

Can't wait to install it!

bizzybear · 10-25-2010, 11:03 PM

does ordering them unpainted affect the cost?? and from a painters perspective, it would be easier to fix/paint a scratch on paint than one directly on the plastic... unless unpainted means "primed" then it would probably be safer to order them painted...
