2008 Civic Si Coupe "Special Edition"

Ok so I've just recently obtained a 2008 Civic Si Coupe. Cool. My question, is why is there a "Special Edition" sticker on the window?

Secondly, under the hood, there is a "Mugen Power" sticker applied to the top of the fuse box.

The carfax shows 2 owners, the first owned it for 4 years and put 24k miles on it, the second owner had it 8 months and put 10k miles on it. I'm trying to figure out if the car came with some type of Mugen parts on it, or if a previous owner applied said sticker, and IF the sticker was applied by one of the previous owners, why would they spend that kind of money on a Mugen part, then put the sticker under the hood where no one would see it? Everything on the car is stock as far as I know.

Any non-flaming input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, and as always, have nice day.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Some kid thought it would look cool.

That actually looks like it might have been a dealer pinstripe package or something. Nonetheless, it's not factory.

Same answer as above.

That box lid should be plain black.
And nobody makes a racing go-fast fusebox.

I'm trying to figure out if the car came with some type of Mugen parts on it,
No...You would know if it did. The Mugen name would be all over it.
or if a previous owner applied said sticker,
Yes

and IF the sticker was applied by one of the previous owners, why would they spend that kind of money on a Mugen part, then put the sticker under the hood where no one would see it? Everything on the car is stock as far as I know.
Apparently, the kid only bought a sticker. Stickers are dirt cheap.

All the cool kids put their go-fast stickers under the hood so their friends can "Oooh and Aaahhhh" when the hood is opened.


LOL

Thanks for the input. I kinda figured all-of-the-above, but was secretly hoping there was something of significance to one of the two. Oh well, thanks again.
