I'm not feeling the add on look.

The ACURA sport bumper looks much better.

I see prev-gen Evo...and IMO, the TSX doesn't offer enough performance or power to warrant this type of modification. Maybe the 2010 V6, but then the high-wing kitted look signifies light-weight + turbo.

I know there are many fans of Mugen on here, but I guess I'm not one of them

apparently you didn't pay attention enough to notice that Mugen
supercharged that car.

I never knew that only balls out performance cars were allowed to have sporty styling.

Granted the wing is over the top, but the rest of the kit is great!

That car was not supercharged...from Topspeed:

"The kit consists of a revised front sports grill, front aero bumper, side spoilers, rear wing (not for the wagon), and rear under spoiler. Performance upgrades include new sport exhaust system, break pad, break rotor, and suspension."

They may offer a supercharger, but the referenced Topspeed.com Accord/TSX did not have one...and yes, it needs one to support that type of kit.

I still think it's retarded to say that a car must have X horsepower to be allowed to wear a particular body kit. Who the shit cares?

Maybe I'm old school, but I think it's retarded to spend money on a Mugen kit and still have 201hp (give or take a few depending on the exhaust) + the added weight of a kit and a huge wing. I guess it's the wing - you have a wing like that, you need to back it up...

Everyone has their two cents I guess

Oh, I hate the wing too. I don't think there's much that could be done to justify it. There aren't many street cars out there could justify something like that.

If you are just looking for the side skirts, stick with the OEM aero side skirts (side under body spoiler) who sells for $380 and come prepainted. Looks very similar to Mugen.

http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/...All&vinsrch=no

If you want the front bumper rear wing etc, then you need to get it from King Motorsports in US or to Nengun in Japan at ( http://www.nengun.com/mugen/aerodynamics-accord-cu2) but that takes time. ALternatively, contact Marcus at HeelToe, he can bring that in from Japan for you.

King Motorsports does not offer the body kit at all. I already spoke to one of the reps there and I work for an Acura dealer. As of right now Nenun is the best option, unless you have some in Japan to purchase and ship the items to you.

Does Heeltoe offer those multi/wire-spoke wheels (the one on the left)? What size are they and how much? They look like 20's. Would like them in 18 or 19. I think it is kind of ironic the Mugen front end has the Acura style grille for Japan.

ACTUALLY...


is a
Japanese company formed in 1973 by Hirotoshi Honda, the son of Honda Motor Company founder Soichiro Honda, & wife Masao Kimura. Mugen, meaning "Without Limit", or "Unlimited", (hence the commonly placed word "Power" after, denoting "Unlimited Power") is an engine tuneing & parts manufacturer closely associated w/ the Honda Motor Company.

Despite the family connections however, Mugen is not & has never been owned by Honda. Things were complicated for some time as Mugen was owned & run by Hirotoshi Honda, who has been the major shareholder in Honda since his father's death in 1991.

Anyways, back to these exterior Mugen parts...

I dont think either Mugen underbody spoiler or the aero bumper look as good as the oem aero/sport bumper offering.

But I do like the (red) Mugen hood pictured earlier.

One, to go please
