Default BRIT flag on the back of EP3

I do not know much of the EP3's but I saw one in town that had a british flag next to the emblem on the hatch, plus it had some stock black housing headlights that were Honda stamped. Is this a Canadian model? I havent a clue and was curious because I live in Texas along the Mexico border. Thanks

The British flag would be from the UK CTR AFAIK, and the headlights would be Euro spec or JDM OEM items most likely.

Since the EP3s are made in Swindon, UK, the JDM CTRs have the British flag emblem on them. It's basically a JDM badging. As far as the black housing, they could be JDM or USDM painted black.

I hate to nit pick about something so minute but being the car is built in england, and its the British flag I don't really think that should be classified as JDM badging

Well since the British Flag emblem is only available on EP3s in Europe and Japan... it could be classified as JDM, EDM, or UKDM badging...
