Yes it is. There is too many people reading to many magazines and watching to much youtube to understand the difference between real and fake.

We don't have Ferio's as others do or anything in that nature.. It just pushes my buttons seeing this happen now a days

Only if you do not take care of them. Got to wash polish and put plastic protection on them just like any other part of the car.

But all in all JDM is way overrated, think about it paying extra money to be stock in another country. :woot: I can understand a few accents that look better but when people say "Everything down to the seals is JDM yo!" WTF is the point just import the fucking car then, because no matter how you look at it, still not "REAL" JDM unless it was made in Japan for Japan and shipped to your house. Then it is "real JDM" Sorry for the rant, the JDM fanboy culture kind of annoys me. lol

- Wed Sep 03, 2008 4:09 pm #68231 My only thing is the whole chassis codes to the aftermarket parts industry... I have nothing against anyone calling the JDM foglights that as long as their the actual STANLEY stamped ones.. OR as I said earlier people calling there EG8 a ferio or there EH2/3 an EG... just funny to a point but gets on my nerves... sorry end of rant..

I ask that if you vote please discuss your choice

LOL!!

Most of the stuff thay people buy for the JDM ness, is made for the USDM cars as well. Take for example the audio console, and armrest. The only one they didnt make for us is the long armrest.

We can even get the clear foglights from honda. Well, not much anymore, you have to get lucky to get the stanely ones from honda now.

JDM just got way outta hand recently. Its just sad.
