looking at this JDM Ferio, you can see they have the same tails...

and the side molding you're refering to Gearbox i think was just stuck on, since the Ferio doesn't come with door bumpers

Interesting how that car has no side moldings...

nah the signal looks like the reverse light part with pinkish tint. if you put amber bulb behind red lens, it would barely be bright enough and still red.

well, any which way shape or form, it's different than the USDM.... just pics looked like it was the same....i'm tempted towards them, but i still like my red/clear ones

grass is always greener on the other side, always want what you can't have. I'm still jealous of those folding mirrors though

like mine!

the JDM ones aren't necessarily power folding...where they fold in when you park. at least that is what it appears when i see interior shots of JDM civics...i just wish we had the bracing in the trunk pass thru like they do...two diagonal bars that go from the outer top corners down to the middle bottom... better chassis bracing... does what the Neuspeed rear upper strut bar does for the EP3 and DC5
