I do want to lower it and get a different wheels on it, but haven't find the wheels yet, so is the spring to lower it.
I paid right at 20k for everything, include the mugens (front, sides, rear, floor mats, mirrow cover and foot paddles.
don't want the mugen wheels, over priced by Honda, lol.
but the rest is real nice.

damn man i got same thing for about 16
but the front is a little different
maybe its because im in japan but all the mugen fronts here dont have the honda logo on them
yeah i didnt opt for anything like the rims or suspension, since i will be replacing them anyway
for the most part i will be going for the TEIN sus and already picked up some bronze 16s
the wing is a pain in the ass as far as that goes, it should take about 3 months because the color is on back order

I really like my Swift springs which drop it 1.2" in the front and 1" in the back.

It looks great, rides nice and with how low the Mugen lip is in the front, you may not want to drop it too much more than that.

Check out my pics here...https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...gs-thread.html

$16K (¥1.4million)?!?! How did you work that out, with the $ value against the ¥? I paid just under $22k before even getting it on the road and that was a stock RS without audio, but did get the Honda Access sussy and euro horns as add-ons.

Looking good OP, nice pick up.

Welcome, not many of us here with the full Mugen kit. Wheels and a drop are a must, but the car looks great in red with the black accents.
