Default Do we have things that the Euro's want?

I know everyone wants or likes their seats, clusters, bumpers, and so on. I was wondering if we EG/EJ's had any stuff that they are interested in?

All we want are your cheap *** engines and not to pay 180% in taxes for a car.

Of course. It's all about that their cars didn't come with said parts, so it's less likely to see. Most OEM stuff on Civics actually is attractive. It's just that people here often find black housing headlights more attractive than our clear ones (which is silly if you're not considering the color of the car and other mods on the car imo).

I know that some like our '96-'98 headlights, but good luck finding good condition headlights in a salvage yard or such here. You'd have to find them at a cheap enough price that they're still attractive after customs fees and shipping.

It's more difficult than you might think.

They have the same steering wheel and side moldings and SOHC engines (just with different last characters, basically the same).

Um... Okay?

All '96-'00 hatchbacks here were built in Canada, but they're still USDM.

A car being USDM or JDM or EDM or whatever has nothing to do with where the car was built.

Exactly, the JDM "domani" was made in canada as a 1.6 EL then re-badged as a domani and sold in Japan/

Um... European cars have clear lights. In fact, their headlights are more clear than ours are.

And they have gauges that basically look just like ours.

Nothing stock on those cars are rice.

There is no stock turboed '92-'00 Civic anywhere in the world. So that's not even worth bringing up. And no stock turboed Honda has ever been a sporty performance car. Oh, and they still have VTEC engines there too.

Europe and other countries by and large do not have incredibly different cars than our USDM cars. Same basic motors, same basic options, same basic trims, just with different names and different body styles.

I have Dutch friends who like our USDM cars. They like our headlights. A lot of the parts we have though, they have too.
