Who here has jdm items?
..whether it be jdm aftermarket radio (yes there are jdm ones that aren't found in the US) or jdm engine parts or jdm exterior junk. Or if you bought stuff from ValueTL, what did you get from him?
fyi: ValueTL is a former member who sold jdm parts for TL and RL a few years ago.

i bought my clear bumper lens on ebay several years ago and the item said it was off of an inspire. so basically i bought it used..from a wrecked car. I paid 80 dollars.
my tails were jdm brand new from honda dealership in japan. bought from ValueTL. I wonder where hes at? I do know that at one point people were complaining that their products took too long to get to the states and he would never respond to peoples email (simply b/c he would go to japan often). I guess he got fed up with the complaints and didn't want to deal with it anymore? Oh he also got into an accident so no more TL for him. Maybe that was an issue that he didn't visit the board anymore

Love the JDM front lip. If you don't want a flashy body kit, I think that the lip is the perfect subtle touch to the car. I'm jealous Acurasnake.

Anyone have large pictures of the JDM front lip?
Is there a JDM lip available for the sides and back? I think most of the body kits out at the moment for our cars are way too big and gaudy, but that is just me.
Thanks

No lip for the side and back. A couple people on here have one, so post pix guys...I never get tired of seeing them!
Also, i'm not sure but the lip might not fit the 3.2...I think it was just made for the 2.5.

Different front bumper. The 3.2 already has a "lip" almost built in. The 2.5 front bumper below the air dam goes right under the car without the little protrusion.

And there is no way itll fit a 3.2 like HQ said, the shape of the bumpers is totally different. just stick with the inspired motorsports lip. its really nice lookin.

And lastly thought not JDM, my intake.

It does exist. (GAB)
Now I'm a believer.
Now I want one really bad. I did size a GAB for an Accord to my 2.5 but, the brace was too short. The drop is pretty extreme.

Mark all you still trying to find all my old parts? The old Gab strut bar. I liked it just did not know how much until I removed it. I would have sold it to you.
Dont forget that there was also another person here in the states who had the same Mugen grill that I had.
Hey do you happen to have any old pics of my car, but hard drive burnt up and I lost all the old pics.

Honda Inspire parts
________________________________________
Hello, I just bought a used JDM 1999 Honda Inspire. I really don't care that much about what 3.2V on the trunk means but it looks almost exactly like an Acura TL. The VIN plate in the engine compartment says "Made in USA" and there are "Honda of America" badges on each C pillar.
My questions are:
1. Does anyone have a link to an English language version of the owners manual?
2. If not, does anyone know how to set the clock (I've tried every different button permutation and cannot change the hour although the minutes are exactly correct.)
3. Anyone have info on what I could buy to replace the broken Gathers 10 disc CD changer?
4. Any info on which DVD-ROM version would work? I doubt if the Cayman Islands are digitized but I just want to get the Japanese "no disc" message off the screen.
BTW the TV works fine - too bad we cannot have this feature in the USA. Picture goes off when the car starts moving, comes back on when you stop. Audio stays on all the time. Great for watching the evening news in stop & go rush hour (yes, we DO have a rush hour in the Caymans)
