Spoon vs. Mugen!

Ok I am torn. I would love to get a spoon spoiler for my 08 sport. But mugen has way more fun stuff for gd3s like pedals, center caps, badges, etc and i love the front grill too. Either way I want to commit to one... unless i go Smoogen.
What's a girl to do?

Spoon is a relativly small performance shop in japan mugen is more of an accessories supplier. So you're going to find way more dress up trinkets with mugen. There is no rule against mixing companies. Said by someone that has put soley spoon products on their fit for the last two years . If you like the look do it its your fit! Be careful as mugen parts for the gd are going to be for the jdm body. Grill,lips,wing etc same for spoon products. Hope this helps if you go spoon I'm requesting a meet up and photo sesh as id love to do a spoon themed shoot

J's Racing FTW imo,

But out of the two. Spoon.
Mugen is overrated.

Like said Mugen is more of the dress up stuff for Hondas. Spoon is like J's Racing and is more race orianted. Go with what you like, if you like the spoon spoiler and Mugen grille go for it! Like said though you will need the grille to the USDM Fits

Haha, its all just personal preference and or what you intend to do with the car... If you want the most options of available parts, Mugen is going to be the winner. Spoon and J's are more race themed, both companies campaigned a GD at one point for different things. Unless your really set on having a theme, its your money, buy the parts you like!

Ask any racer, any REAL racer, it doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning.

all in all if im only going with one theme i would say Mugen, but honestly the best part of being a car owner and enthusiast is that you have the ability to choose whichever you'd like.
I however mix and match as I see FIT lol no pun intended.
