Why do y'all like JDM stuff so much? I can understand the engines, cuz they're more powerful, but what about front clips and stuff...

Because it's not that same thing [we've] seen on the street everyday for [x number of] years. That's my reason, anyways. ;) Similar to the reason Japanese peeps are fascinated with USDM junk.

Looks better in my opinion. I don't want to buy a body kit made of fiberglass or urethane that cannot be fixed.. The stock bumpers can take alot more damage. I might go wings west skirks with my front conversion... Their gauge clusters were alot better.. The spoiler was better... the lights were better.. Cool rear seat.. Power windows. Straight black interior not that ugly gray black combo.. More options... Some people do it just for trend reasons I do it because it is my style and I like the flexibilty of JDM parts.

word up QuickSilverEF9
I like it because its simple clean and still has a style not every one is going to have. Its the little things that i think are dope and it takes some work to get some of the parts cant just walk down to the local shop and be like can i get a JDM mid spoiler for a ef9 and have it in a week! trust me i have one hahaha I have been hunting down JDM parts for my car for about 3 years now i have most everything i have wanted to get except for the back seat, doors, windows (bronze tint), folding side mirrors, and motor
JDM styleing fits my personality if you know me you would be like ya thats you i mean im not a loud in your face perosn i stay in the back ground but when it comes time i step up and do my thing

Hey EF9JDM how much did your front conversion end up costing you? MIne is looking like $1200 total. I want the glass also but it is very rare. I think I am going to get the window visors that go over the top of the windows. Do you have those? You want to send me some pictures of your car? I would really like to see how yours looks with all the JDM goodies.

Call me stupid (and I'm sure you guys will) but I thought that stock Honda parts were made of urethane. Its not important, just want to know if I got my facts straight. :frog:
