What mods are people doing to 7th gens in Japan?
I'm just curious how the trends are over there. I know what people do here, but what is popular over there? Do they have access to any companies that make performance parts that we don't?
PS. "here" means North America. I know we have members here from all over the world, so I'm just saying where "here" means in this context.

Rep Power: 0 yes, japanese people want usdm stuff, because to them, usdm are things they don't have from the factory
there is another scene you don't see, the demand of american made cars in japan, they want mustangs and camaros and firebirds, not skylines and rx7s

Rep Power: 0 I don't think they really would want USDM stuff overseas. It's just wrong. We want JDM stuff because of the performance they offer and really.....the japs know what they are doing with their cars. What could the japanese put in their cars, that is USDM, that would make their car better?

we look at small displacement for power, but they probably do the opposite, and look at large displacement
when people mod their cars they all wanna be different some how. y would poeple in japan want stuff on their cars thats really easy to obtain. it makes sense to me that they do want usdm parts because they fairly rare in japan.
It only seems logical, there's an excess of COOL *** cars that we like over there and No domestics. So obviosly its gonna be cool to have one of few cars that are over there. Like a mustang or firebird or other.
I sure wish my car was newer

Rep Power: 366 Did anyone see the pics from that Japanese sport car dealership? They had GT-Rs and such, and people were all about the.... IROCs.
You tell 'em Voiceofid.
And yeah... there is no Civic coupe in Japan. So unless she also did the 4-2 door conversion aswell, I'm gonna have to say I don't believe that one.
