There is easily over $10,000 in damage! they cut the front seat belts to get the Factory SI seats out and cut the harness that connects the seats to the car.

I am so sick and tired of thieves doing **** like this! This car belongs to NO ONE and still it got hit! How stupid is this there is no way they can use the parts or sell them as they will be noticed and I know for a fact you can not buy the Mugen parts off the self at a Honda dealer because Honda and Mugen will not sell the parts unless you have the proof that you own a 2008 Honda Civic Mugen SI!

im pretty sure we all HAD to figure this would happen @ some point cuz apparently NO ONE on this f*cking planet can work hard for something & feel at ease when they have it.... but this is 10-fold worse IMO. the car wasn't even sold yet!!!!!! looks to me like this dealer prolly learned a HARD lesson when it comes to the safety & security of a limited production Honda model.

just figured i'd share. searched & found nothing related. so if repost, i apologize in advance.

help keep our 999 OTHER Mugen Si's safe here in the U.S.!!

now then, the REAL question is... if the Mugen parts are as restricted as Honda is trying to make them out to be, wouldn't a shift knob, mugen si emblems, seats (ehh maybe not cuz they are exactly like Si seats

) front lip, & wheels sorta stick out when the jackasses tried to resale them?? you would think so but you never really know.

this is a DAMN good reason for dealers to get their Mugen's in & IMMEDIATELY PDI them, detail them, & slap those b!tches in their showroom ASAP!!!!!

*whew* i need to calm down. theft angers me so much!!

discuss.
