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.
