    Find me a steering wheel that feels and looks like this on a USDM honda/acura..oem quality hand made by Momo. There's over 300,000 94-01 integra's out there with only a few thousand having this steering wheel...




    How about my OEM fog lights? Instead of a chrome oval catz or piaa fog that doesn't fit anywhere why not oem quality that actually looks like it belongs? Good luck finding a USDM set for the 94-97 bumper...

    i will say that the whole jdm thing has gotten a lil outta hand with "jdm tyte" and stuff but majority of jdm parts are better. It's just ironic that we want our cars to be jdm and ppl in japan want usdm. That's jus how it is ppl want shit they can't have.... so we spend that extra money to get it. mostly ppl get jdm parts cuz not many ppl have them and they can say they have it. same with any other expensive item. y do ppl buy loui vaton <--i kno it's mispelled

    I mean Im glad you guys have something to be passionate about. I am just sck of hearing "Oh JDM this and JDM that." I just dont understand why you HAVE to have JDM tailights. The JDM cars do look good but the whole JDM thing has gotten out of hand.

    jdm for me is looking better and having more style than your car

    Nissan Pulsar GTi-R (labelled Sunny GTi-R in Europe). This was a homologation variant produced to satisfy the necessary WRC rules at that time. It featured a turbocharged SR20DET engine. Brush up on your Skills....Wikipedia is more JDM then you

    Besides the side i drive on and the ECU/Cat, my car is from the factory EXACTLY the same as the JDM counterpart...so there is no need for me besides the aftermarket of course. Though i will agree most JDM parts (especially exterior pieces) look MUCH better thent eh USDM version

    I hate people consider JDM rice now days.


    JDM parts = The shit

    Fake JDM parts = Rice


    Think about it if you have a set of Volks on your car are you really going to waste your time racing? More than like not, but if you have a set of rotas you wouldnt give a damn cuz you could replace them with another $400-$500.

    lol i've never heard anybody associate rice with JDM before. But my assumption to that is they either can't afford it or they drive a domestic.
