Not seen that before.
Questionable whether it's genuine, or someone's take on the civic kit.
Is it fibre glass? If so, that definitely casts doubt on whether genuine or not... All the rest of the prelude mugen kit is polycarbonate.

Interesting. Might look alright actually.

Perfect for ducting to the front brakes

Have you asked if there's any pictures of it offered up to a lude?

Personally never been a fan of Mugen's bumpers or Buddyclub's for the matter,everything else that they make yah but i just think the design teams always get it wrong on aesthetics.

Sidekirts because they have little to work with i can do.

Rareity though it would be worth it alone.

Biaesd too as i have a Mugen rep lip

but all in small doses.

I remember the first time I ever saw a regular Mugen front bumper for a 4th gen. It was in primer grey, unfitted on a US ebay auction. I thought it was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen on a car. I couldn't understand why anyone would want one. It was without it's lenses as well, so that didn't help.

I have grown to like the 4th gen Mugen bumper now, but it does need the lenses to work, else it looks like the long time friend you've always known to wear glasses when they rock up one day wearing contacts!

I like that Mugen tried something different.

... Still don't like the 5th gen Mugen bumper though

That's just the b@st@rd child of some fibreglass bodykit manufacturer. You're right, based it on that EK Mugen bumper, which is very nice I might add.

So not real Mugen, they only did one!

But it still looks pretty good, I think that would pull off quite nicely. Just have to think about how you match up the sides with this winglet things.

And going by the top right of the pic it looks like they've got/had a few of them. Have you seen it in a for sale ad @Andreika609?

Why the Evo appeal with the spots?just kills it,so not Honda.
Ings+1 has always been my favourite kitter,though they suit newer models not sure on Pre 2000's.
Great people have mixed taste though or we'd all have the same result.

Totally agree. Straight away I thought, well I'd fill those for a start! But then it probably needs something there, and like I said, could be ideal for ducting to the brakes on a track car.
