For replica get Nextmod, don't try the Ebay crap cuz it's crap.

Even better, just get real Mugen!

You dont have to worry about the quality of the Nextmod replica kit. Just make sure the shop you take it to is competent. I took my kit to a shop and they did a bad job and kinda screwed me over and, they refused to give my money back or redo it.

For the 06-08 Nextmod kit, do they come with brackets to mount the 06-08 OEM TSX fog lights? Or do you need some frabicate something yourself?

Also, in the pictures for the 06-08 kit, it looks like they're using 04-05 side skirts... are those actually the side skirts you get for the 06-08 kit? I've seen pictures on the forum here of 06-08 authentic Mugen kits and the side skirts definitely look different from the 06-08 Nextmod ones.

no bracket on the lip...you have to fabricate or let a shop handle this so you can be able to use your oem fogs.....i beleive they fit 04-08....can someone confirm this?.... goodluck

TRUST ME, just save up for the real thing. If not get an a-spec skirt kit instead.

If your budget is tight, get the authentic front under-spoiler and run replica sides and rear, however do not get a replica front under-spoiler!! here's why;

The latest mold's are terrible. My buddy acutely just purchased one recently and when we dropped at my body-shop. The body man said it was acutely one of the worst kit's he's ever come across in regards to material and and imperfections etc.

The latest mold's were re-molded from a replica kit. I am in talks with Peter I might have him take a fresh mold off my authentic front under-spoiler since the current one needs to be stretched on and fits so tightly.

I am on my fourth front under-spoiler, trust me nothing fits like the authentic.

PS, benz has been trying to get rid of his authentic front for a while now. PM him and work something out.
