10+ pages of pissed people.

Freaking a-holes, althou the dealer should have had it inside somewhere.

man i was looking to buy one of these too(if i had the money -_-) . dont know what it was doing outside..at lexus we kept all the new models in a garage at an offsite location or in the show room.

exactly. should have kept it in the showroom. :sad:

lol, one of our Honda dealers got one of these about 2 weeks ago.....they're selling it with a $35k pricetag.

I guess someone just didn't wanna pay dealer markup for an appearance package!

That sucks. Another reason why people should buy that overglorified civic.

35k rly? i swear it was cheaper. maybe my eyes deceived me, i saw the add on myspace actually =\

sweet.. they stole the seats... I need to find them online

The parts for that Civic are made for that Civic alone...I can't go to a Honda dealer and buy the Mugen Seat, wheels, shift knob for my LX.

Biggest reason why those parts where stolen

exactly nate...i actually saw the mugen si at the dealership in my complex...that car is siiiiiiick

its not 35k though...more liek 31k, but for a civic, that is alot, but thier genuine mugen parts

oh yea, the one we have at our place is going on ebay

It's a thief magnet. I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole. You can probably buy all the pieces and assemble your own Mugen Civic in a couple months from all the stolen parts.

Ours is 35k....the dealer slapped a 5k markup on it as soon as it rolled off the truck! I told them to point and laugh at the fool who actually pays that much for one.

So a ballpark 40k figure for a Civic? I'd rather put that down on a nice WRX STi.

I never did like the mugen si. If I were to buy one I'd get the canadian spec and do a JDM Type R conversion.

now that's secks

I'll keep my 01 front rolla thank you... I don't wanna a thief magnet...

Everything but the rear = secks. Rear bumper, wing, and lights need to be the Mugen US SI-spec, IMO. But the rest of it, pure secks.

yeah, after taxes, title and license, dealer doc. fees, etc. you'd end up totaling out around 38k for the car.


We had a multi-page argument on a local board about even paying 30k for it. That's IS250 territory for me.....besides all the other 30k worthy cars that are one the market. The dealer markup runs it waaaay beyond sanity.


I personally don't think they'll be able to sell it locally for that much...unless a super nutswinger Honda Fanboi snatches it up. Then you'll see it on a repo lot in 12 months, lol, completely dogged out.

Agreed. You can have an EVO for that much. Or a GTi, or a MS3, or an ION Redline, or a Sky Redline, or .....

but it's a honda! everyone loves and worships honda!! lol. j/k.

i wouldnt pay that for the added asthetics though

Wow. That thing IS sex on wheels, but I still wouldn't buy a Civic. It really is a thief magnet.

btw I love the rear and the taillights.

I know at lest 2 people on my Honda board who bought Mugen and the first thing they did was by top of the line alarms.

I would love to have the rims on my civic.

what really surprises me is that if the person took all that stuff...why leave the spoiler??

I kinda like the taillights better than the US spec ones but that's me.

my dealership put a lowjack on it the second it pulled off the truck...

im still wondering also why they didnt take the spoiler either, other than the shift knob its prolly the easiest thing to steal off the car

the wheels were pretty easy also because the wheel locks are dealer installed and that one didnt have them on yet

alarm won't do anything if the person really wants something.

What fool would pay 30K for a FWD economy car?

A loaded hondafan boy. And surprisingly, there are a few out there.

No thanks, don't think I'm going to buy another FWD car ever again, especially one that attracts thieves like honey attracts bees.

I'd rather spend it on a used 350Z or MR2 Turbo.

Sheet Maing, I was thinking about a new IS350, lol. Base is about 35k on it.

BTW, to my knowledge, they still have not sold that marked-up-to 35k Mugen SI here. I'm waiting....to laugh at the sucker who does.

i saw someone pulling it out of the ralph schomp dealership, mightve just been a test drive
