i am also faced with the same decision, but after finding out that hte mugen is 200 bux more, i am gonna go with oem as soon as i get my bonus and my paint fixed. but the mugen would be more unique, i havent seen a suzuka with either the oem lip or the splitter.

oh yeah and you need to consider that oem needs no paint, but mugen needs to be color matched and painted.

But then again, oem isn't always color matched correctly. If you're anal enough (like some people I know), you would have to get it repainted anyway. Especially Suzuka Blue - that one is a hard one to match.

I would go with Mugen because it looks good. But don't be surprised if bjeong does an elbow drop on it because he's a hater.

...If only I had examples of both but I have searched time and again and there are no pics of either on my blue...either way my front bumper will be painted because of a fender bender involving a valet...

maybe ill just go mugen. i havent seen any silverstones with that lip around. come to think about it, for silverstone being a popular color. i dont see too many running aftermarket lips. so MUGEN FTW
