dude, representing your crew? i had an ES2 crew sticker on my old car and i'm sure hundreds of others had it too, yet we didn't know each other. we weren't a crew. just people who bought stickers on a forum.

Re: What is up with JDM Soshinoya (new driver badge)???

everyone has their own personal taste, it is just a trend people like to do, i personally like it. Its like saying why do people put stupid body kits on their cars or why people put lambo doors when they have a civic.

Re: What is up with JDM Soshinoya (new driver badge)???

too bad thats not even what they are called.

wakaba/kareha badges...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure you guys have seen these badges before:

Beginer driver "wakaba" badge:

In Japan, any driver who obtains drivers license within 1 year must show this badge/emblem on their vehicles. It's called "Shosinn-sha-emblem" in Japanese. Shosinn-sha means " Beginner or Starter" Another driver must give their ways even on the busy traffic.



Elder/advance driver "kareha" badge:

This is an emblem for a driver with more experience in Japan and called a "Silver Mark". The driver must give their way to the vehicle on the road with this emblem by the traffic law.


inspections sticker...




They used to be cool stickers, but the meaning has gotten distorted by all the wannabes. I bet if you ask 10 people 9 of them dont know the meaning behind the badge, the one will be able to tell you the true meaning. Btw the description above is the real meaning. My buddy confirmed this after he came back from japan visiting his gf parents.

Re: What is up with JDM Soshinoya (new driver badge)???

Yea, it's all personal preference. I know that it got bigger when people started rocking those at D1. But it's no different than the guy hanging a toy monkey from their trunk or tow hook. If you like it, then great. I don't see what the big deal is about another decal/sticker. Might as well make a thread about overplayed AEM stickers or tow hooks or body kits just because one persons taste is another persons displeasure...but I think people forget that we mod our cars for our own satisfaction and not others...

There are fords and junk over in japan too. Just because the company is based out of a country, doesnt mean only the cars that come from the country can have it. Shoot, werent our cars made in Iowa or something? While most american cars are built outside the US anyways. You know a new driver sticker would fly on a american car over there, thats like... saying a pensoil windshield sticker for the next oil change date is too american for a car over in japan to have.

Re: What is up with JDM Soshinoya (new driver badge)???

lol this really shouldnt be that big of a deal. its a sticker. this is one of those personal preference things that some people just like. your saying oh his car isnt jdm, its clearly a usdm car so it shouldnt have that sticker. but a good example would be that rs grill on ebay. lots of people have one but theyre probably driving a coupe, or dont have an rs lip kit or whatever u know? its still preference cuz they think it looks cool. its just there preference u know? kinda the same thing with stickers.. hey if sum american rice fan with a neon wants to slap on one of those sticker cuz it matches his yellow and teal (?) paint job then whatever.. its a sticker.
