I swear I’m going to loose it in the next classifieds section when people call things “JDM”. Im starting to think half the people who use it don’t even know what it means. Want an example? Look at the 2 recardo seats in the classifieds thread. I have the decency not to post this in his thread, but I’d LOVE to know how these seats were specifically made for the Japanese Domestic market. Not hating on that guys thread at all, just using it as an example. So much “jdm” shit is probably made in china and sold exclusively in Canada and the US. Anyway, thats all I had to say, and Im sure it has been said a million times before. But it deserves to be said again. ---

The Integra Type R offered in the Japanese market came with those Recaro seats as standard equipment, thus making them “JDM”. The North American market got some shitty seats in the Type R. I agree with what you’re saying though. Just pointing out that your example doesn’t really work. ---
