highroller54

I dont care at all, I just wondered what they were origanally from.

holy crap, this JDM **** fad is WAY outta control.

Bronze windows? what the hell are you talking about? are they like "tinted" bronze? That sounds kinda retarded. Any more input anyone?>

its not jdm... its not amber

let me explain this "bronze" thing as i have sent over tons of these pieces and have two fulls sets in hand.

its not a jdm thing, far as i know and what my cousin has sourced for me. the "bronze" glass, specifically only talking about the 92-95 civic hatch models came on all 92-95 sir and sir II trim levels. i cant speak for any edm models since i have never had anyone there to source glass from there. but i know there are edm glass top crx's that were sold there so i can only assume the edm upper trim hatches also had bronze. but not positively sure.

but as far as japan goes, only 92-95 civic hatchbacks of the sir and sir II trims had the bronze factory tinted glass.

the eg3 eg4 and eg5 trim levels had the "windex" colored tint as we have here in the states.

your friends car could have had his rear tailgate replaced with an sir or sir ii . the only way is to look at your interior which will have tell tail signs of it being eg3, eg4 , eg5 or eg6 models. or the vin plate aswell.

also taking photos of the bronze tint is hard unless you have a nice white background or its taken at an angle.

for example, you tape a piece of white paper to the glass then step back 10-15 feet and take a photo, the bronze will be easier to see.

sicky

If I take a brown turd can I sell it on eGay and say it's JDM? I am so sick of this JDM fad; I feel it has ruined the scene. JDM has now become the new rice. Anyone who disagrees, how popular has Rota become? I don't care if they are not the originals, they look identical, and hold a tire just like the Spoons or Volks. I just don't get it.

like I said before I couldn't give a **** if its jdm, I am definitly no ricer(not even a little). I have a black eg hatch with bronze 16" wheels lowered 3inchs and a si front lip. That is it for cosmetics. I just think the bronze windows would look good with the wheels and black paint My friends car is a 93 sir and he races on weekends with other hondas in japan and I am telling you they are not bronze, his or the others I dont know what else to say.

96dxpower

whoa whoa there buddy calm down. im not accusing you of being a ricer. dont shoot me now. lol. mayb the 'jdm bronze' window is optional. im assuming CXSHOE sells these things so he must know what he's talking about. he did just explained yo

highroller54

o dont get me wrong I'm not upset only explaining myself, He also said that all sir's should have bronze windows but my friends or the others he races with dont have them.

dfoxengr

theyre fake. people will label anything jdm now...ha

could it be just a slight tint that they just dont look bronze to me/him? I realize that its not going to be dark but. I will get him to try the paper trick because cxshoe seams to be the most knowlagable on this subject. If its that light I wont wast my time or money for them

my buddy converted his US spec EK9 to JDM EK9. we have a local importer who crates parts over all the time. he literally replaced every piece on his car to the JDM counterpart. as far as the windows, the rear quarter windows and the rear hatch do have a light bronze tint to them. its only noticeable in certain light and at a certain angle. most of the time it looks like normal glass. hope this helps.

yea the tint is kinda hard to see in the sun or a bright room for that matter unless you know what to look for. in the beginning even i couldnt tell the difference. and the glass was not an optional part to get, they only came on the sir or sir ii trim levels. no other models had them. why your friends and others dont have them? i dont know. but like i said i havent seen your friends car's interior (if it was left stock) to know what model it truely is. so it basically just boils down to what you want to pay and if you can deal with one of the pieces of glass breaking down the line, and what you will do to replace it. hence i have two full sets of everything. most wont go this far but i can afford it. so those are some things you should think about before you get the glass.. the windshield is the hardest to get shipped.

as far as the ek's go.. all ek9's had charcoal tinted glass on the rear quarters and rear window only.. all other glass was like ours. no bronze at all.
