So I happened to get an email from a dealer in Taiwan......

.....that wants to possibly set up a trade with me, me getting JDM parts, and he getting USDM parts.

Being that I'm kind of out of the loop with JDM as I haven't been able to get it (except Spoon magnetic drain plugs years ago), what kinds of things if any would be in demand on the 3rd gen TL?

And, if you know of a price on something, post it up as I have to see if this ends up being a worthwhile venture.

Definitely the tail lights. People have been trying to mod a frankenstein of Type S tails with stock ones to achieve that look. If you can get the Chinese tails I will definitely buy them off you if the price isn't too much and they fit. i have no idea how much they should go for though.

I just saw what i think was a pic of the rear side markers. If they're amber/yellow instead of red like the american ones, you should try to get some of them too. I would be interested in the tails and the side markers.

Ditto! Also, interior accessories may be different too!

To the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as JDM parts. The TL was design and built in the states.

True, but since they will have the TL there now many parts are sure to follow in the future.

I would ask him to provide pictures and a list of all the parts he can get access to or find for the 3g tl. There might be stuff out there we have no clue is available. See if he knows of any accord parts that might fit the TL as well.

Let's try for the reflector/reverse lights that go on the bottom of the rear bumper cover.

That would be awsome. Does anyone know if the 3rd gen TL will show up in Japan anytime in the near future?

there is no Acura in Taiwan. But maybe you can get them to get some parts from China.
