It means your import is from Canada. That's mad CDM y0!!!!

I dunno, but I doubt that it would say Honda of Canada on any part of the car just because someone wanted to add it on. It probably came that way from the Canadian factory it was made in.

Anywho, props to the previous owner for his/her dedication to making that car as JDM as possible, that's some serious devotion.

Mine says something about Canada. USDM civics in '92-'95 (most of them anyway) were produced in Canada.

@ OP:
Take a picture of the stickers in the door sill.

Ooooooo.....

So...where do you live so I can come steal-um...come by and look at your sick genuine JDM ride?

-It is imperitive, now that you have just confirmed that your car is GENUINE JDM, that you get every layer of security EVER.

EDIT: Holy ****, I just read you live in CA. You are in so much trouble unless you guard that with your life.
