all of of cars is not jdm, but you can definitly make it jdm spec. by puting in jdm parts.

Now Im a weaksauce cause my stuff isnt what you claim
. But let me tell you a little secret.. "If it came on a ship and is not produced anywhere else but Japan it is JDM." My Mugen grill and Greddy lip all have Japanese documentation and are produced in Japan. Japanese Domestic Market, produced in Japan, not in the US like APC.Now please STFU.

if you call your car jdm then what do you call mine? your car is clean, but you spent about hundred bux on emblems and call yourself jdm, you overrated your own ride dude.
what you are referring to is jdm STYLE, any hardcore jdm fans like me will say the same shit, WEAK
i check out honda tech too, i only see some hardcore peeps there, but some is just like you, bought a 125 bux mugen STYLE lip or some rota's make them think they got real MUGEN in their car.

I still think it looks clean. The fact that benzo had enough creativity and ingenuity to put a prelude front lip on his ride is great! I would have never have thought of that! Now that I see it, I may just have to take your inspiration and be the first TL in the PDX rockin a front Lude lip! Still mad props for being the first!

Dont judge the book by the cover. You have no idea what I have. And if you're the owner of the shop you run, then shame on you calling me out. No one makes a fake Greddy lip. I've rocked 3 sets of Volks within the last 2 Acuras I had; Black Racing phantoms on my hatch. I know what they are and they arent rotas.

benzo what made u go with the prelude lip vs an accord lip ? would they both require the same amount of work? REV-01 you seem like a little kid, his car is just as jdm as yours, you got mugen shit on your car too , you have a left hand drive us spec car just like the rest of us, you arent the king of JDM, plus the inspire is made in Ohio anyways so hald the emblems and stuff come from there too, grow up and let benzo and all the other members enjoy their cars without your nonsense. If you dont like it go make your own thread on how your car is so perfect. Oh and since when did comptech become JDM? If u really own a shop i wouldnt buy anything from it b/c you're an arrogant know it all whos car contradicts your own words. ignore this hater benzo i like the car weather its USDM JDM or mexican its nice

benzo:
i am not saying you are using fake parts, what i mean is
greddy and mugen is not jdm
just like fade mugen lip and rota is not mugen
what i mean weak is you call something that is jdm but is not
some of my customer ask me how i would mod their car as if is mine, i give my honest opinion, if it sucks i make sure he/she knows about it, i don't own a shop where i kiss my ass all day to make a sale to move product, because the outcome of the car will have our shops name on it.
acuratl203:
benzo post his pic, i give my honest opinion, that is all
i am NOT the king of jdm, i am just explaining the real meaning of it to benzo, i know comptech is not jdm, in fact lots of my mods are not jdm such as WORK, MUGEN, APEX and TEIN etc. i never consider them jdm, that is why you don't see me make a post about me jdm or my jdm when i show my pics. when i do post pics of my car, i am willing to take both positive and negative comments made by other members.
people come to my shop not because i have everything in stock, not because i have lowest prices, they come because i am honest, and that is important especially in hawaii...

REV-01 .... Not to add more fuel to this discussion... but, since you and I both have the Work Euroline KH... Here is my question to you, that wheel is manufactured in Japan and shipped to the US, at least mine was.... is it JDM or USDM?
Because, even thoug it comes from Japan, it's an after market wheel, not a "Honda Japan" wheel... therefore not being JDM when speaking about the make or origin of a car or car parts, however it was manufactured in Japan so it is a "Japanese Domestic market" product right? Please explain... Thanks!

japan domestic market, means a part that is made solely for japan's home version vehicle only, my list of parts is not jdm
work wheels, ordered from akt trading, exclusive authorized work wheels distributor in north america
tein ss suspension, ordered from tein usa, authorized tein usa distributor
mugen parts, ordered from king motorsports, exclusive authorized mugen distributor in usa
you guys get the idea...my tein edfc is bought from japan, my friend got it for me, is the same item that tein usa sells, even i bought it there is still not jdm, just like my mugen spoiler is bought from japan too, is painted already in a different color, i still don't call it jdm.
unless a item the authorized distributor don't carry in usa, but they do manufacture the item in japan then is jdm, one good example is ssr wheels, they made lots of different models, but tirerack only carry a limited amount of them, the ones that tirerack don't carry is jdm. even for the same model, such as the ssr sp-1, do you guys know jdm version have different offsets and sizes than export models??? all jdm ssr wheels will not have a "export model" white sticker on the back of the rim, just a silver sticker with specs and the name of the inspector who inspects the rims.

all work wheels is made in japan, they "market" their wheels all over, since kh is available in us and japan so is not jdm or usdm, if they "market" one rim for a specific market such as japan only and no where else then is jdm

JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) does refer to parts made in Japan for Japanese cars.
Mugen is JDM. Mugen is JDM Aftermarket. King Motorsports does not make Mugen parts. They are the sole U.S. distributor of Mugen Unlimited.
Other Japanese parts companies mentioned that have stores located in the U.S. also, are not JDM if they make the parts here for the cars here. They usually focus on the USDM Japanese car market. Using JDM parts is taking parts from the Japanese market...it is that simple.
