TOKYO — Mugen, the Japanese motorsports and performance-parts specialist owned by family scion Hirotoshi Honda, has put together a home-market package of goodies for the redesigned 2007 CR-V that provide a little more differentiation for this largely generic grocery getter.

Mugen's aero body kit features such pieces as a front spoiler, a rear spoiler (with cutouts for center-mounted twin exhaust tips) and a roof-mounted rear wing. Additional exterior mods include a sport grille, foglamps, 19-inch alloy wheels and a choice of six colors.

CR-V owners also can order a performance muffler system with dual exhaust and a sport pedal set.

Stay tuned for the SEMA extravaganza in early November to see how many of these pieces make it to the States.

For more information, see the Mugen Web site.

What this means to you: Even the CR-V can get dressed up for the ball.
