They have Type-R super zoom sercurity cameras that claims to have amazing clarity and resolution but it didn't really catch anything that night, just a couple fuzzy black spots.

Read the article carefully. The vandalized car was a Mugen Si, *NOT* a Mugen RR. The two are noticeably different cars.

The Mugen RR is a serious machine, with a tuned motor, tuned suspension, among other things. It's for Japan only. Meanwhile, in the US we get a "fools" version with the Mugen Si. The Mugen Si is essentially nothing more than cosmetic upgrades. There might some slight suspension changes but nothing significant. The main differences between a Mugen Si and the regular Si are the wheels, shift ****, steering wheel, spoiler etc. The engine remains stock just like a regular Si.

Basically they've done you a favour by ordering all the Mugen cosmetic parts and shipping it to you already installed on the car.
