- Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:08 pm #101698 Looks good but if you wanna get technical it's not JDM. Those didn't come on any stock cars over there. It was just an aftermarket part.

- Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:41 pm #101706 If you don't track your car, this is a pointless add on.

haha you my friend are incorrect. these are great for daily driving, they provide a ton of visibility in what would otherwise be a blind spot.

yeah my friend has one on his 4dr and its so nice to drive, you never have to use the side mirrors, you can see everything

- Mon Mar 09, 2009 8:07 pm #101715 I used to hate them but I'm thinking about getting one because of how short I am.

&& Katie is most definitely right, not exactly JDM, even if it's the good brand.

Congrats though!!

with all those japanese characters, pretty sure it falls into the JDM catagory.

This is down to a matter of opinion.
Personally I don't like my reteners in my eyes burned out by an SUV with HID's. Personally I think they're pointless for road use.
Why do you really need a clear shot of what's behind you anyway? You're going forward not backwards. The only mirrors I ever use are doors mirros for lane changing.
For track this would be awsome, because you could see whose comming up behind you, and you need it for moving over or cornering.

If it's not in a Honda box or a Honda parts bag, it's not JDM.

Japanese - The country.
Domestic - A country of which a product if produced in.
Market - A place of sale of a prodict.

JDM dosn't always just consist of car parts. (also other car makes in Japan are considered as JDM, so it's not only Honda, pencil neck)
You can also buy JDM washing machines.

- Mon Mar 09, 2009 9:28 pm #101748 He did say he bought it from the Honda dealership, therefor I think it's safe to say we can say that it isn't a genuine JDM Honda part, even though yes JDM means more than just Honda.

- Mon Mar 09, 2009 9:43 pm #101750 yeah JDM does mean Japanese Domestic Market but still it seems like everyone puts JDM on the front of a part they are selling just to make it seem rare and to jack the price up.

Like when people say they bought a JDM audio console for a LHD..Not really.. USDM audio console fits LHD cars. The JDM audio console fits RHD cars. There's a difference in JDM right there.

Or when people put jdm in front of the usdm cup holders and charge like $50 for something that comes stock on US civics..it's not jdm. People just put JDM in front of stuff for some stupid reason.

Yeah the broadway mirror has japanese writing on it but doesn't mean it's a jdm part. That'd be like me saying my greddy shift knob is a jdm shift knob. I doubt any of the civics in japan came with a greddy shift knob on them.

There are many, many reasons I love you Katie, and this is most definitely one of them.
