post a picture of your car, a stock honda, and ill post a pic of mine.. and the differance will be clear to you.. NOT talking s**t.. just saying..
most people into jdm dont JUST put jdm part on there cars.. they do OTHER things..
this thread keeps on going and going and going
why try to make a USDM vehicle JDM..?
why make an economy car go fast?
because it alows you to have parts that until recently were NOT trendy.. parts that were differant... but yet still perfectly fitting (in regards to oem honda parts)... it allows me to have headlight housings that are differant from every other honda around here.. while still retaining factory quality, and fitment...civicracing98 said:
not to get off the subject, but I'm not much into body kits, i think i am just going to throw on a front lip and that's it. I like the JDM look. I also like the way Spoon Racing does their cars; White Paint, Carbon Fiber Hood, and the Balck Wheels, it simple, but still cool
let me just say a few things. i like jdm. because i like the facted that i can change my whole front end and throw a lip kit on it and no ricer know that it is changed at all. were i live there is nothing but ricers and they will rev at you all day and blind you with there shinny wings. and i think it gives the car a since of character. and the over all quality is great. lets compare spoon/mugen to say..aem....quality is worth the price.
Amen to that FRODO!!!! JDM just gives your ride the flare and bragging rights of having something that no one else around you has. Unless you live on the west coast or in a big city. And that is also what differenciates true Honda enthusiasts from the "average joe" who has a Honda cause it's the "in" thing to do. SAll praises to importers everywhere for bringing the "holy grail" of car parts from Japan!!!!!!!!!

since when is oem unique?ForceFed said:
when that oem part is different than %95 of the hondas in your area...$lick Rick said:
nothing about a honda is unique BUT the truth of the matter is REAL jdm lights are far more unique than "jdm style" housings... or even apc projectors... make a list of people who have ek9 housings.. then make a list of people who have jdm style housings.. and you will find that the ones that are more common, are NOT jdm...
you can go round and round.. but my yellow sir fogs.. are probably one of the rarest thing you can buy for a civic (96-98 ) like i said before ive seen them twice EVER in the four years ive been into jdm s**t... and i see fog lights spray painted yellow like once a day.. lol

it may be unique to your area, but just because it's not common in your area does not make it rare.oc_civic said:
there are some rare jdm parts, but there are rare usdm parts as well
but generalizing all jdm parts as rare or unique imo is an overstatement
and all of those rare parts are unique.. MORE unique than taking a can of spray paint.. and spray painting my headlights.. again just use this site as a test bed.. how many real ek9 housings.. how many fake ones.. you will see quickly what is more unique.. i can think of 5 people on this site with real ek9 housings...$lick Rick said:
and lets be fair... and compare apples to apples..
how much more unique is it to have ek9 housings.. vs a STOCK usdm housing... because thats really what its about.. i mod my car for myself.. i seek out the parts that i like the most, and think are the best.. i DONT buy jdm s**t in an attempt to have you or anyone else swing from my nuts.. i mod my car for me.. im just fed up with the disrespect people give to the whole jdm scene..
