I have been looking closely at the RonJon body kit and was planning to pre-order the kit in the near future. I went to the Phila. International Auto Show this past week and observed the Mugen proto type TL on display in the Tuner section and now I just dont know. I have been unable to find any information on the Mugen kit so far except for a photo on their website.


I'm looking for any information on these two kits or anything else out there in body kits and front grill replacements.

I like the RonJon kit out of the two. Plus, unless someone in the U.S. stocks them, its expensive to import kits from Japan.

I vote for RonJon kit... Mugen kit is too mellow

Dr.Murdock

RonJon 100%. I decided not ot keep my TL for a long time, will bring it back before the end of the lease (ballon payment), in about 2-3 yrs; otherwise, i would get the RonJon kit.

ronjon...

the mugen kit makes the tl look like a tsx (no offense to the tsx owners though lol)...

JackSprat01

Ronjon, no question.

I just pre-ordered the Ronjon kit. Woohoo! I can't wait. So many people in the Bay Area have TLs, it'll be nice to have one that looks unique.

i personally like the ronjon over the mugen... the mugen is just ugly

I have to admit, the Mugen doesn't look too good. But, I'd have to see both in person to make a final decision.

While I understand that Mugen is a Japanese company, the TL is not available in Japan which would seem to impy this kit is exclusive to North America. Not that it makes much of a difference though as the Mugen kit is FUGLY.

Ron Jon hands down!

neither, stock is the way to go

Your right, I just checked Honda's website and the new inspire is our Accord.

Its still fugly though.

Wow I usually like Mugen and when i saw this thread I was thinking i was going to end up in the same dilimma as you... but I really DONT like that Mugen.

I dunno if the websites support me linking them but just look at these two, even if the RonJon isn't on an actual car you can tell it'll look way better:



NO CONTEST (hopefully you can see these)!!

ACCURATEin

i call it first:

im gonna go with the mugen front bumper and the ron jon side skirts.

caball88

i probably would not go with either one but if i had to choose i would go with mugen simply because of reliability. they are a pretty big name company and can produce kits that are durable and fit well. from past experience when getting stuff from smaller compaines the quality and fitment was always an issue. mugen has already made a prototype version as you can see from the pictures. its been over a year and we just see rendered photos of the ronjon kits. i don't mean to put down the ronjon but that is just my take on things.

ward148

I’m going to agree with just about everyone so far.....RonJon it is! I’m just waiting to see the finished product before I order his kit..... Their’s nothing appetizing to me about that Mugen kit...

EleVatE

hmmm... the front bumper is my least fav of all the Ron Jon parts... but I still dont know if I like the Mugen more. the Ron Jon rear ROCKS, and the side skirts are pretty killin too. Yeh... I think I still like the Ron Jon Front more.

Thanks for all the posts!
I have been giving it some thought and I think that I really would like to have the kit install like the OEM kit right over the factory parts. The Mugen rear valance installs just like the factory Aspec piece so I like that and the front bumper replacement by Ronjon rocks except that I personally dont like the vents located at the right and left top center, So I might just go with the factory front piece. Who knows I will probably change my mind a hundred more times before the kits are available for sale. It sure would be nice to see the RonJon kits on a proto type to see the fit and finish.

ayethetiense

I AGREE!

id rather have the stock aspec kit.....

maybe diff side skirts though....

just looks classier IMO

Thanks guys, I should have some pics of the kit in progress this week, I'll def post them when I get them. btw, check this kit I am doing for the TSX, a bit different from the TL, but still kept it in the family:



from this:



by the way, the side skirts on the TL have been updated to this, cleaner and actually fit the Engineering requirements better:

04TL/owner

Rondog, Love the kit, and these side skirts are way cooler. Its a shame you weren't able to have a proto type done for the area auto shows to put your right next to the Mugen TL, yours would have destroyed it. I checked out your web site and personally think the prices for the kit are very reasonable, especially already painted.

Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing real pic's.

JackSprat01

Whoa...love that side skirt!

my ron jon kit is on its way. hopefully i should be getting it by october 13 or 14 or definately the 17th. Im really loving that wing on the silver TL shes looking sexy. where can i get one of those rear wings? ron dog, if i get my friends to buy your kit, you better send me a ronjon polo shirt. imma size XXL still.

mugen kinda looks "ricey" hands down to the ronjon it makes the TL look "strong"

znorris

Mugen make the beautiful TL look like it's little sister ...the TSX
