Let the guy buy whatever he wants for his car, you don't like fake parts don't buy them. sorry we can't all afford authentic baller parts lol. My mugen style seibon hood does the same thing the mugen one does, sure its heavier but I don't care. My Tenzo wing puts down a lot of downforce, cost me $200 used, and doesn't flex at high speeds. I sold it to a member that tracks his S frequently, after I took it off I noticed a huge difference in handling at higher speeds. Just because it's not authentic doesn't mean it's not quality. A consumer has a choice in what to buy and from whom, there are companies that make cheap crappy parts, but that doesn't mean they all do. Do research on a product and company and make your own decision, don't let others make it for you. If you want functional, looks ok and doesn't cost and arm and a leg look at the tenzo, sorry it's not baller. Here's a pic of the wing on my car, the risers can be made wider.

Sorry to rant, but this stuff just bothers me. I had my fair share of fake parts on my WRX. I regret having ever purchased them. It just felt wrong. Just think, if "company a" spends months or years, and tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars developing a top-notch, quality part, only to have it ripped off and re-sold for 1/4 the price by "company c", do you think they will continue to engineer parts in the future?

I'm not saying don't buy "real" parts, but for those that are on a budget, it may be hard to pay full price if you can't find them used. Every part is copied and even if you dont realize it, 50% or more of the things you own in your household are not the original. you may buy off brand clothes, or electronics or food. It's almost impossible to support the "original" maker of anything these days. Do you own a computer? is it an IBM? because pretty much anyone after that ripped them off. And like OP said, buying used doesn't support anyone at all, and by that, I guess I haven't supported anyone since all my stuff is used lol.
And OP, you need to get married and collect that BAH lol

Lol I am married, sad part is I am stationed at Holloman AFB where Bah is $1050 a month but It's almost impossible to find a house I would be caught dead in for less than 1500 a month plus utilities. Now I pay soaring Heights (privatized housing company on base) my entire BAH for a house honestly worth about $600 a month I can't wait to use my GI bill to get a good paying job and stop turning wrenches on air planes for little to nothing!

Proud to rep FAKE.
-Seibon MG
I have the risers, and anywhere bellow bout 90mph i can unbolt it and i dont notice any significant difference, if i max out angle you can notice a slightly less loose feel on the rear end if you jerk around a bit. i keep mine on risers but set @ lowest angle unless i plan on doing something stupid.

lol...this thread has gone from technical discussion to a discussion why our economy fail due to replicas.
So let's get back on track and discuss about Mugen wing functional or not? Fellas and ladies if you are running Mugen wing (rep or real) please tell us your experience on track, off track, street, high speed, low speed, with it on, with it off, any riser, etc...PICTURES too if you have any. Thanks

Do you run with your top on or off? Wow so you can only feel it at >90pmh, that's fast. Becareful and don't get a ticket. Your car looks good btw.
With it being >90mph that's not going to do you much at certain tracks. Any more personal experiences?

I figured it was a good trade for them f@#king up my knee lol.Anyway, the wing is probably functional but not as functional as a bigger/higher one would be. looks good tho. If you like it, get it. Want more downforce? get a bigger one lol
