Post GOT MY MUGEN SPOILER WHAT A PIECE OF S H I T!

I GOT MY MUGEN SPOILER YESTERDAY FOR $374 (INCLUDING SHIPPING) IT IS SO THIN! YOU WILL NOT BELEIVE HOW FLIMSY IT IS. IT IS ABOUT THE SAME THICKNESS OF THE LEXAN BODIES FOR AN R.C. CAR.

DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ONE? IF SO DID YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT? IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL JUST BLOW OF MY CAR IF I AM GOING FAST ENOUGH.

It's the rear decklid spoiler? I mean, you kind of want it light for the trunk, not like that part goes through abuse.

He's right. Someone had one at the meet last weekend in NJ. It had all kinds of ripples in it if you looked at the top of the spoiler.

Pretty sh!tty quality if you asked me. Glad I saw it, I was considering it. Not any more.

Don't sweat it!

Mugen aero parts are designed to be super lightweight. Mugen goes through a lot of wind tunnel testing, heavy exterior aero parts slow down the car.

On the rear of my Mugen Grille, one of the towers for the screw broke off...I had to scrape it down and use Crazy glue, and apply pressure for 15 minutes. First time for 5 minutes, but it simply broke when I was putting it on. It's fine now....but yeah, I didn't see much quality in it.....

If you really don't like it, why are you still going to mount it??

You can take that "flimsy" Mugen spoiler and your standard WW spoiler to a professional auto tuning shop and they'll tell you right away the Mugen is way more expensive without even looking at the brands.

Caps hurt my eyes. It seems rude to use all caps, like its too hard to hit shift once in a while. Do what you want, but don't expect me to read it.

I have a mugen bodykit on my CRV and many other mugen pieces and found that they have very quality stuff.

The Body parts fit like a glove on the car and the exhaust is super nice compared to any other exhaust manufactures out there.

I'd rather have a lip type spoiler than a wing, wings suck ass.

The lip also looks better and actually works.

Can anyone says Acura Factory Spoiler with Integrated LED Light? Good enough for most of us and still looks great!
