I have found a 1997 CW ITR with what appears to be a Mugen wing and a possible Mugen front lip. The car seems to be in immaculate condition, but I am still waiting on pictures and word from the owner. It currently has 77,125 miles on the odometer. The seller is asking $10,900 U.S for the car. Just wondering if this a pretty reasonable price given the age and mileage and condition? I do understand that this was the first year they were imported to the U.S and the value that this might have. Thanks for all of your input.

That actually seems somewhat cheap for an asking price. Post pics here and check for accident damage and check the title.. it might have been in a front end wreck or stolen and has a salvage title, etc.. Just make sure you really check it out.

Here is one of the pictures I was able to recover, I am still waiting on some others, i.e. engine, interior, right side, rear and front. Also, was I correct in my assumptions of the front and rear spoilers are what I stated? Does anyone know how I can get the picture to be larger and in this space instead of in the thumbnail form? Thanks again.

Eh, forget this post, seller emailed and apparently already sold the car. Oh well!

I've heard this question literally dozens of times - "Is this a good price for this car?" - and every single time I've heard it, without exception, the situation has been that:

a. it sounds like an incredible deal, based on the description presented - which the person posting undoubtedly already knew - and

b. it turns out there's more to the story that isn't in the description - things like a salvage title, and/or other damage, and/or the condition not as described - that makes the car only worth what's being asked, and sometimes even less.

Caveat emptor.

Did Mugen make a bumper/chin spoiler for the old front end? The new JDM one yes, never saw one before for the old JDM front/USDM front..

So to answer the guy's question, I don't think that's a mugen front piece.

That is a WW front lip on that R that was FS.
