I said Mugen lacking reputation for having the "best" performance parts. that doesn't mean they don't make good parts, just not the "best". Try to find me a single part thats made by mugen that has the highest performance.
bodykit is actually a very big part in the japanese tuner world. after all, Aero is what sets them apart with the US cars. Remember, time attack cars are racing at a much higher speed that they actually do need the Aero parts. TFTF gave them a bad rep, thats all. Find me a purpose built track car that doesn't have some sort of Aero parts on.
The reason I said J's is a performance driven company is because they are. Just look at their exhaust system for the fit. Not the best sounding one, but the lightest. Most after market test pipe and b pipe have a resonator so they can sound better, but for J's, it's all performance. Not always the finest, but the fastest.
I have been dealing with them since the early 90s, so I think I know them well enough, do they make the finest parts? Yes, Fastest? No.
I like Mugan's stuffs don't get me wrong, but like you said, they make things at OEM quality, thats because anymore, they have pretty much become an OEM tuner, like STI, Mazdaspeed...etc.
Is the new Mugan civic si nice? of course. Is it the fastest Si? Nope.
