a question to ponder on....

ok here in the states we dig all that JDM stuff... like how we love the front end of a JDM integra.... do u think they convert their JDM front to a USDM front? people in the states would kill for the JDM conversion... and do u think japanese tuners get hyped about APC products and other rice crap we sell?

USDM and CANDM? I thought there was only ADM... and I really doubt they go all out for it. All we sell over here is crap, that's why we go for JDM... besides when it comes to civics they're like generations ahead of ours, it's like they skipped the whole 7th gen

i've seen a couple of integs in japan w/ USDM front end conversion... some guy was stupid tho, not only did he do the usdm front end conversion on his integ, but his front end had 6 headlights instead of 4. i dont know what the other lights were for tho.
its a white one, if i find the pic again, i'll post.

The Japanese are sooo far ahead that each year they just dust off the next model from the shelf and present it to use.

white2K2EX is a glorious beacon of light

I've seen pics of a guy from japan who got a Ford Explorer and put the steering wheel of a USDM Explorer into it even though the cruise control and stereo buttons would work. Yes, they do like USDM stuff, but it's the minorty just like it is here.
