Where to find replica mugen parts?

Hey guys,

I'm interested in finding a replica mugen front lip for my USDM fit 07. Any good recommend sites that are still active and highly reputable?

thanks

Have you looked on E-Bay? I try to stay away from knock off Mugen because the real Mugen will last you a whole lot longer and keep looking good even after years of having it on your car.

Some of us dont think it should cost over a grand to dress your car mugen style.

Also, lots of the mugen parts are expensive for what they offer.

Not all knockoff parts are low quality, some can even match or overcome the quality of mugen parts

OP, research is the key. Lots of people told me over the years I would never have a good ebay part, well, the only ebay parts that have ever failed me were the front hubs and bearings for my camry. The hubs apparently nto only use crappy wheel studs, but the bore for the bearing was a hair loose and caused the bearing to "walk" a bit

Ive built motors and suspension and electronics off ebay parts! research research research!

lolwat?

And yeah, stuff will cost more when you have to pay to develop it, copying someone else's development and using China sweatshop labour with cheaper materials makes profit margins very tidy.

lol. True, I tried checking ebay but no seller is selling the replica lip (in the past they did) and I even placed a post wtb anyone's replica lip. I checked hondfittuner but i don't think they are operational any more and other sites that sold the replica, don't have it in stock. Any suggestions? anyone have a spare lip that you'd like to sell me?
