Default USDM shop in Japan!!!

I just got the April issue of Option2, and in it they have a car crew spotlight of a Japanese car crew that is into USDM 'west coast' style tuning!!! Quad light integras, large chrome wheels, vinyl graphics

Check this shop out: http://www.tintshopjapan.com

There is also a photo (either in the Apr Option2 or the May Option) of an RHD teg w/ quad lights, TenzoR graphics and Tenzo wheels as well as a few cars w/ Altezza lights.

Is USDM there the counterpoint to JDM here??? Good lord, the stunnas are poisoning the Japanese car culture!!!

Only the ITRs in Japan came with the "JDM ITR front end". The regular integras came with the north american front end.

I know what you mean. I was flipping through a Type-R magazine I got during my trip to Japan. I had to scan these and share.

I laughed at this one...
Acura

I almost cried when I saw what they did to this one.
USDM

No, the 94-97 nose in the US was used in 93.5-95 integras in Japan. All japanese integras 96+ have the two piece headlamps.

Most neighbouring asian countries got the same nose as we do here.

I don't get why people get all exciting about the idea of trading their "US" fronts with "JDM" fronts with people over in Japan. I really doubt anyone here would go through all the trouble..after all all the stuff is made there anyway.

yea, why do you think vision corners are orange, theyre made to be "like" the USDM corners. If you look at LA style magazine, its all about the JDM USDM cars. Lexus/Infiniti?Acura owners in japan pay good money to get USDM emblems and dealer license plate frames. In this months option i think they show a b16(?) turbo Del sol with sparco seats, racing hart rims and air bags. Theres also a crew in japan called autobots with cars with gulwing doors and head/taillight conversions.
