Mugen Honda CR-Z Seen Stickered Up, Ready to Roll

Honda's new CR-Z is getting a ton of attention out in Japan from Mugen to Spoon to HKS. Hybrid-tuning has taken a whole new formation in the Land of the Rising Sun ever since the Prius and Insight made a splash. Mugen was one of the first few on the forefront tuning the CR-Z, naturally, and now they've taken an interesting "green theme" throughout one of their project cars. A ton of race-inspired graphics but there's absolutely no denying that Mugen is promoting green and hybrid on their CR-Z. We'll be interested to hear some hardcore performance figures out of the car and seeing how it does in the States. More pics after the jump.

C-West 2010: Honda CR-Z, Insight and Mazda RX-8

In the early 2000's, C-West was all the rage on the Stateside.  The appeal of their kits, especially on the EK, set a new standard in popularity.  Their carbon fiber time attack S2000 was groundbreaking.  But since then we haven't heard much out of the famed Japanese body-kit manufacturer but it seems like they're still chugging along and growing with the new market trends.  Caught these renders of upcoming kits for 2010 where C-West goes green, much like many other Japanese aftermarket manufacturers.  Upcoming is a kit for the CR-Z and Insight from Honda, and traditional C-West design on a Mazda RX-8.  I like the fact that C-West is going conservative on the hybrids instead of big and bold like some of their old kit designs.  Check out the Insight and the RX-8 after the jump.

Noblesse Honda CR-Z

After visiting Tokyo Auto Salon and seeing how rampant hybrid-tuning was over there, it's no surprise that Honda's new CR-Z would become a hit with the aftermarket.  We've already seen iterations from Mugen and Spoon Sports and now Noblesse has thrown their black on black CR-Z into the mix.  This one seems to have received quite the treatment, hitting the track to put it to the test.  We're still not sure on how the CR-Z will fare here in the States with only 122-hp and weighing in at over 2,500 lbs.  Will it bring Honda back on the map with stateside tuners?  More pics after the jump along with a video.

Mugen Honda CR-Z

Mugen Honda CR-Z

Mugen hasn't been making a lot of noise recently, especially with Honda introducing and marketing the Modulo brand heavily at Tokyo Auto Salon.  It almost seems as if Mugen is nonexistent these days.  They've taken the new Honda CR-Z hatchback, the successor to the ever popular CR-X, and has decked it out with a full aero kit tuning package, exhaust, possibly suspension and wheels.  Some may not be a fan of the styling of Mugen, but it definitely shows that the new CR-Z has tuning potential.  More pics after the jump.
