Mugen Style Side Skirts...

redninja77 · 07-16-2008, 11:35 PM

Has anyone install these already on an FA5..(replicas not real MUGEN btw)..if so would it be the same as installing the HFP Sides?...

thanks in advance..

no it is a little different the hfp uses rails to hold the top up but the rest is basically the same

where i believe the replica mugen used double sided tape to hold the top up but the rest is basically the same

yeah and the real ones actually bolt up underneath the skirts correct?

or do the replicas mount the same way?

There is like 4 or 5 bolts that hold it onto the frame of the car and the rest is 3m tape..

Ive never done reps.. but I imagine its going to be very similar.

Are there not much differences between the real mugen side skirts and the replica ones?

redninja77 · 07-17-2008, 03:21 PM

Does anyone know if the mugen sides sits lower than the hfp sides? Because I have HFP front and rear lips and I'm hoping that it will flow nicely with the mugen style sides..

***Angelsi06*** · 07-17-2008, 08:05 PM

the major diff is that u might have fitment issues with reps and u don't get the rubber strip along the edge.

The mugen skirts do sit lower because they mount lower than the hfp on the body of the car.

^ Your right...I got my replicas today and I was not happy with the fitment when i test fitted it.. Downer!! I guess I might have to go with the HFP sides instead..unless I can find some REAL Mugen sides...

^^ What was wrong with the fitment and where did you get them? I almost bought some on ebay for $120 or so before I realized they probably would have huuge gaps and whatnot. Are the fitment issues fixable?

I bought them from OptionJDM.com...You know what, I had my friend come over to take a look at it and he says that it should work. I guess I jumped to conclusion that it would not be a good fit..He says replicas are always like that..(I have never worked with replicas so my judgment was biased) but we'll see.. I'll post pics whenever I get to installing it...

Here's what I'm hoping for..

If you sell them and would like to order some real Mugen ones I can order them for you and have them shipped to your house, but oviously I would need payment first. I get my parts at discounted pricess also.
