I think the whole JDM shit is stupid... and some are rice shit also, not all, but some makes no sense just like shit over here.
There's actually USDM functional parts that will out perform some jdm stuff.. So it goes both ways or how much of a groupie follower people want to be.
The only thing USDM stuff is good for is safetyOriginally Posted by Julio

i just think it is hilarious that a few years ago...and in some areas still. Body kits were kool if done correctly (painted, fit perfectly, etc...) But everyone has jumped on the bandwagon of calling anything with a kit or small spoiler rice. I agree the tailights are the worst investment but i still see some cars running around with kits and they look nice IMO (if done correctly).
the whole JDM thing is with lip kits.....KITS HELLO...it's a mild form of a body kit. same frigin thing. I like the tinting of the tailights but it is dangerous as fuk. at least those shitty ass euors i could see the brake lights...sometimes.
whatever...just stating that i think it is HILARIOUS how kits were "in" until the term "rice" was made up. now EVERYTHING is rice if YOU don't like it. ~end rant~
its just the thought of having something different than the ordinary shit you see on hondas all the time here.
I think of JDM items as collectibles, lol.
It is ridiculous to go after parts just because they're JDM. I hate most of the retarded things that come on the cars. Some are very cool to have though.
agreed my dude.Originally Posted by EBP_EM1
JDM parts are just higher quality and most of the time look way better.
they designed the cars so use the parts they made for them.
not the parts americans made.

I do have a front lip on my car. It opened up my bumper for more cooling to my FMIC and created a little more downforce.
not all body kits make the car off balance. You guys think I like eveything. I said they look ok when done right. when they mix and match that shit it looks bad.
and not all JDM parts are that great nor are all the body kits. But most body kits are super strong with fiberglass, urethane, polyurethane. I dont see those as weak materials.
Also, the body kits WERE made for that car. The car makers didn't design the car with the intent of body kits being installed
so you stating i have a front lip on my car means what? I never said I didn't like them.
My bumper (splitter/spoiler) was designed and fabricated in USA, Georgia at that...by me

I didn't read all this, but JDM DOES in fact = rice. It is all STUPID. The whole "JDM" lifestyle, 240 owners are bad at it as well. Hondas are worse. Search eBay for JDM, there are JDM seatbelt pads now....even JDM eBay coilovers. Some real sick stuff dude! Drifting has turned gay, JDM has turned gay, it's all turning stupid.
Now there is STILL some NICE JDM stuff around, some real clean well done cars, with a mix of JDM/USDM styling, real built cars, that stuff is cool. And there still is good drifting. But when I saw the Alfundersteer (search JJ Alfano) my image of drifting totally changed and I saw where it was going.
...not to mention the JDM Cavalier that went off the parking deck.
I made it, the design was originally made for the Honda Challenge/SCCA Club Racing/NASA Del Sols at Raceworks but I was the first person to fabricate one for an Integra. There is now one other that i know of that has it, Zsolt on his NASA/SCCA Integra race car but he doesn't have my Porsche brakesOriginally Posted by TRYMY4.0
There's ALWAYS more bullshit than treasure, you just have to wade through it to find the good stuff. Tell me what is gay about jtuned.com? Com'n now lets be serious, you can't possibly make a comparison between it and searching "JDM" on eBay can you?Originally Posted by simontibbett
You are right though, i don't like how the word is overused and in the context it is sometimes. I have a OEM "JDM" momo steering wheel from the Honda Integra Type-R and it is by far the best wheel i've ever encountered, the design & quality exceeds all the others i've seen & used. Momo's Italy right? SO is it really "JDM"?![]()

Lol not sure which year this cavalier was, but the last model was produced in japan. so Technically they can be just as JDM as your MiataOriginally Posted by simontibbett
Its even in the TRD Catalog

I'm been so busy with other things I don't really get a chance to go to the shop anymore. I've crewed on the Raceworks race team for several years and go up there whenever I can. As far as I know they are no longer open to the public, just strictly their own race stuff.Originally Posted by TRYMY4.0
Is your lip fiberglass or urethane? You would probably want a bodyshop for that.Wait, doesn't your dad own a bodyshop?!

Seriously, JDM isn't all that. Look at speedminded's integra. I think it looks great, cause it's original. I'm tired of all the mainstream looks of hondas and acuras. If you really look, everyone buys the same "jdm" parts.
As i always say, just like the pink hair on chicks....they're reason is almost always "to be differant" ...helllooo? you look just like every other chick with pink hairOriginally Posted by TypeRPersonality

ohh, gotcha. Urethane is a whole new world though and i'd say 99% of the bodyshops won't attempt it, or the proper way anyways...need to look up urethane and flexible plastic repair -- there is mixtures available that's basically a plastic weld.Originally Posted by TRYMY4.0

thats not quite correct. most of the stuff u c on ebay isn't actually JDM though. i've seen the name of a product advertised on ebay as "civic steering wheel JDM accord, integra, spoon" Its just a shitty seller selling shit. The term "JDM" just gets overused & thrown around a lot.

^^^basically what he just said LOL
Anyways, I hope people dont think rice when they see my JDM TyTE CRX riding around...
