What do you guys have on your accords thats makes it JDM or USDM. Do you prefer the JDM look or the USDM look, and what have you done to make it stand out. PICS are a plus

 

anything from the JDM is so much better than USDM..I mean there are some advantages to USDM parts but Id much rather have JDM parts and accessories...I dont really have anything JDM on my car at this moment..but I just ordered the Headlights for my 94 accord and the bumper lights, fog lights, and this may im putting a JDM h22a in my 94 accord

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that almost all of us have something JDM type on the car. I think it gives a sporty look, although the USDM can look pretty clean.

when i hear JDM i think i blacked out RSX, when i hear USDM i think an untouched 95 accord lx

get the term correct, you can't make your USDM accord jdm just by sticking in a few black housing knock off.

All the fake jdm crap is getting stupid you know it's down the tube when you see your favorite local ricer try to put some blackhosuing light on his primered riced out pos.

it's hard to make anything stand out with a H emblem, think of anything. it would be done before try it.


&lt;--stock car x2

 

well my car is primered and the JDM headlights are real...got them from jdmshit.com 750 bucks shipped..yea it may never be a TRUE JDM accord but it'll look like one...who cares if its not a real JDM you can still make it look awesome and make it look JDM

 

750 u got ripped

 

if you can find REAL ones that are bascially brand new for a lot less than that then you let me know

 

im not talking about something off ebay..im talkin about somethin from Japan not made in US

 

if its not gonna be a real JDM why not get the ebay? i doubt someone is gonna walk up and comment on your fake headlights

 

thats true but id rather have the real ones..thats just me though

 

the fake ones look exactly the same just without the STANLEY stamp on it, you can pick up fakes for $210 real ones havent seen them brand new but you can buy used ones for $375 but you dont really know how good condition until they show up at your house = /

 

yea thats true..and yea you can get them brand new..but like I said I just like to have the real stuff

 

you'll enjoy the rhd flare on them too...that way signs dont get well illuminated, but you'll see who's driving what at night

jdm prices are outta control. i gotta hurry up and get back to japan....

 

you do realize that, even including the SiR, for 5th gen accords (probably the most commonly modified), there are less than one dozen parts that seperate those cars sold in japan from those sold in the united states

for christ sake, you honestly payed $750 for some headlights? do you like the black out look? -get some TYC's or paint your OEM ones. is it honestly worth $750 of your hard earned money for a set of headlights which actually dont function as well as the OEM ones?!?!??!

&lt;= bets $20 that guy didnt have had a clue the JDM headlights will give really shitty lighting on a LHD car, and will blind other cars on the road

 

oh yea, what kind of bulbs do you need if you get projector headlights?

random reply of the year?

depends on brand/oem or knock off.

they love to run foglight blub such as h1 or h4.

back to the topic, do what you like. if you like make it jdm looking then by all means. oh yeah..btw local speed shop here sell those stanley like 400 used.

 

i think the whole jdm thing will fade, hopefully drifting will go with it.

i personally love the look of my usdm honda, only thing i would change is the rear-stock lip, i think it looks better without it.

 

wow, why the explitive would you pay 750 for headlights? wteff??they are just headlights. you can ahchieve a clean *** look by staying usdm, its not that hard.

dont get me wrong, some jdm stuff is pretty cool, but if i cant get it for cheap, I aint getting it. only things i have on my car that are tru jdm are a jdm shift **** I got for free, and a jdm itr shift boot i got for 10 shipped. yup, straight out of some JDM Honda.

I don't think he really likes how they look. He just likes going around telling everyone he meets "HEY, CHECK OUT MY BAD *** HEADLIGHTS!!! CLEAN HUH??? PAID $750 FOR THEM!!! REAL JDM DUDE!!! FROM JAPAN!! USDM IS WACK!!"

Sound about right guys?

well, i prefer the jdm look or jdm theme personally, but im a ricer. by jdm vs. usdm im assuming jdm look is stock bumpers and some amber lights here and ther and usdm is blackwidow body kit and flourescent paint...
but yes, i spend ludicris amounts of money on worthless lights and exteror and interior pieces that 1 in 500 people will notice

thats about right. im assuming thats how much it would cost to order some headlights brand new from honda of japan in 1996, and have them shipped over directly
