Quick answer
Choose the Fuji front panel if you want a clean, iconic Mount Fuji silhouette; choose Honcho Street if you prefer a more detailed street scene with the mountain in the background. Both fit the MAINGEAR MG-1, so your pick comes down to visual style.
What each panel brings to your MG-1
The Fuji front panel focuses on the mountain itself—Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak, presented as a bold, quiet image. It suits minimal or nature-inspired builds.
The Honcho Street panel adds context: a retro-inspired view of a Japanese street with Mount Fuji in the background. It tells more of a story and suits builds with a travel or urban theme.
Compatibility: both fit the MG-1
Both panels are available for the All-new MG-1 and the Classic MG-1. When you order, you select your MG-1 model using the Version option, so confirm your chassis before checkout.
Fuji vs Honcho Street: trade-offs at a glance
- Fuji: minimal and iconic: Choose Fuji if you want a single, bold subject that reads clearly from across the room. It's the safer pick for a clean, modern build. If you prefer a quiet, focused design, Fuji is your panel.
- Honcho Street: detailed and narrative: Choose Honcho Street if you want a scene that draws the eye and gives your case more character. The extra detail can make the panel feel busier. If you like storytelling in your setup, Honcho Street adds more to look at.
- Compatibility: same fit, different look: Both fit the All-new MG-1 and Classic MG-1. The real difference is visual, not functional, so your choice should be based on which artwork matches your build. Verify your MG-1 version when ordering to ensure the correct panel.
