i remember hearing that there was such a thing but today at the junkyard. i came across a real jdm EF sedan with the first character of the vin# a J no vin swap all legit so i took off the "jdm hood latch" and compared it to a usdm ED3 & there was no difference they were exactly the same. arent they?
