Well I finally installed my Mugen SS front last week and everything went well. It was a little harder than the Cwest on installation but all in all it went well. It took us about an hour to get everything on correctly. Wasnt to bad. But when I talked with the bodyshop on quality comparison they told me the Cwest was far superior than the Mugen even though the Mugen is CF. They said there was a lot of pitting on the Mugen and more bodywork was needed to get the "perfect" look like the Cwest one had. By the way, these are the same guys that sprayed the Cwest. Anyway I like both front bumpers and the Mugen did have flaws unlike the Cwest and fitment was perfect just like the Cwest. Right now I do not think this front bumper should be in the $1800 range more like the $1200 range. I mean it cost me a total of $2700 to have the bumper 2 color matched (yellow and black) and I did the install. To me that is way to much for a bumper thats quality is not as great as a $1000 bumper but then again the research and wind tunnel testing helped sway me to pay the money. But I havent really been able to push the car as I became very ill the past few days and am still ill. So maybe this weekend. We shall see. If you guys have any questions fire away.

chris glad to hear your happy with the mugen front. i'm with you on the price of there products. my mugen wing was 650 and once all said and done painted and installed it was about 1000 done. luckley it was a gift and i get my paint anfd body stuff done for free. so far out of all my parts my airwalker and my mugen where at the top of the qualtiy and my garage defend rear bumper being very poor. anyway shot some pics my way.

I will try and get some today. I am just getting over a really bad flu. I actually had the highest temperature I have ever had, that being 103.2 degrees. Me being in the medical field got lots of goodies to help me through this but even with all of that I still have a cough that still wont go away and its been a week. I am even using guaif/codeine and its barely doing anything..
I will go out at lunch and snap a few pics.
