    I think threads like this were overused in 2007.

    It's as JDM as you can get. Back in the 70s Hondas for America were made in Japan and shipped here for sale. You can see it all over the car. My antenna is on the roof over the passenger side. My radio has the ON/OFF/VOLUME switch is on the passenger side of the radio while the tuning knob is on the driver's side. Even the push button presets are backwards to USA. The FM presets are on the right side and AM presets on the left side. This was all because the Japanese made as few "modifications" to the cars being shipped to the USA as they could. I even have holes (on the passenger side) in my floorboard/firewall where the clutch/gas/brake/steering column go through to the engine bay. All the brake hardware under the hood is right there on the passenger side as well. You've never seen my car?

    I don't know, lolol. I bought my car from Adam but this one he never drove. He hasn't driven one in years so it wasn't him either. It could have been mine. Below are the "JDM" parts, lolol. And a pic of my car when you may have seen it before paint.

    A REAL JDM car, folks, lolol. Later, QD.
