One of Honda's most mild-mannered machines is probably the HR-V crossover. It's based on the Civic, and it only comes with the least powerful engine paired with a CVT. It's a practical and fairly affordable bit of transportation, but not something that's particularly exciting. Now, though, Japanese tuner Mugen can help HR-V owners give their humble little hatchbacks some visual zest, if not a whole lot else.Mugen The HR-V By A Different Name Officially, Mugen's new set of parts for the HR-V are for its Japanese-market identical twin, the ZR-V. Over in Japan, there are two versions of the crossover with slightly different styling. One has more body color trim (shown in red), and another has more plain black plastic (shown in white). The latter one, called Cross Touring, is the same as the American version, but Mugen developed body parts for both examples.MugenThe body kit is available as individual parts. Those parts include a front bumper addition, mirror caps, side skirts, rear bumper extensions, a spoiler lip, and an extra lower spoiler. With the exception of that lower rear spoiler, all the parts are fairly restrained, but together they do add some nice details and additional sportiness to the HR-V. They look broadly the same between the standard and Cross Touring versions, though tailored to the slight differences in each vehicles' body work. We should note that the rear bumper add-ons may not fit the U.S. model, as the Japanese versions feature exposed dual exhaust tips, rather than one hidden under the bumper.MugenMugen has a variety of other goodies available, too. It has two sets of 19-inch wheels designed for the HR-V. The Cross Touring shows off the CU20 wheels, and the standard red one has the MDC ones. Mugen also offers a variety of exterior decals, badges, door sill plates, window air defelctors, oil caps, floor mats, and even cargo organizers. As for performance, Mugen only has a cat-back exhaust, but it's only for the hybrid model that isn't available in the U.S., as well as some sort of vibration damper. What The Parts Cost The body parts on the Cross Touring (since that's the same as the U.S. model) come to a total of ¥413,600 for the unpainted pieces. If you opt to have them painted by Mugen, they come to ¥474,100. At the time of writing, those costs come to $2,593.34 and $2,972.69 respectively. As for the wheels, the CU20 and MDC models cost ¥71,500 ($448.32) and ¥58,300 ($365.55) per wheel, respectively.Getting the parts might not be quite as simple as just hopping onto Mugen's website and ordering, though. At the moment, they're only listed on the company's Japanese website. Additionally, one of Mugen's American distributors, King Motorsports, doesn't have the parts listed, either. This could just be a matter of time, though, and you might be able to get in touch with King about ordering parts. Barring that, you may need to find someone with contacts in Japan to arrange purchase and shipping. It could be a bit of a hassle, but you would probably end up with one of the coolest and most unique Honda HR-Vs in America.
