NSX and Intrgra (DC2) were Japan.

first, i misspoke a minute ago... the '97 and '98 USDM ITR had the carbon fiber print in the gauge cluster. i was thinking about the vents and console, which it did not have til 2000.

my 99 Si was something like, what, 70%+ USA parts content? Basically the car was assembled in the USA and parts were sourced from USA suppliers, with the engine shipped from Japan and installed in the car in Ohio.

I think the CL may be assembled in USA now, too, since its based on the US Accord platform. I could be wrong.

All assembled in Ohio. for Accords, Civics, TL's and CL's....and now Model X's.
% wise is 100%. From individual metal parts welded up into a whitebody, on down the line to a full car.

98s have carbon fiber around the gauges, I don't know about 97s. In 00 and 01 it comes on the air vents and the part of the stick shift as well as the gauges.
