Pretty sure it's supposed to say mugen on it in the middle?

It's a decal. It's on the other sides. My concern is the welds and authenticity. I don't want a fake one.

Never seen a replica of that model, seems legit, just a little rough. Fits very tightly on the ITR

The welds on the one you have seem to match that of the authentic one in this link. The replica has some really poor welds.

The welds on the triangulation look familiar. The backside welds do not, but I rarely see that. I have my Mugen rear strut bar free. I will take pics and upload.
