Default Any such thing as true JDM 6th gen??

I've been told by different sources that there isn't really anything JDM I can do w/ my car, reason for this is that Japan NEVER got same models as we did. Is this true??

So when someone's trying to sell "JDM black headlights" it's a scam or lie?

There's NO way I can get those tails to fit huh? From what I've been told...the 6th gen accord is called the Torneo or something??

Added: Also anyone got a more close up pic of those sidemarkers in the fender??

Are you guys smokin' some mad crack, or what?

6th Generation JDM Accord SiR Sedan


6th Generation JDM Torneo SiR Sedan (Basically an Accord spin-off)


6th Generation JDM Accord VTL Wagon


I have a pic somewhere of a whole row of 6th gen jdm wagons, but I can't find it.

There never was a coupe 6th gen Accord in Japan.

Got any closeups of those fender sidemarkers? I need to know what they look like so I can get them, and get it close to where they're mounted OEM in Japan.

All JDM Accords are powered by 4 cylinders, whereas the americas got the V6 powred variants. The Japanese had a couple of powerful offerings: The Accord SIR powered by the (blue valve cover) F20B 2.0 Vtec 200hp@7200RPM and 145ftLB @6200RPM, Accord R also known as the EURO R powered by the (red valve cover) H22A 2.2 vtec 220hp@7200RPM and 163ftLB @6200RPM, the lesser models utilize the less powerful F series motors.

Its all stupid and played out. Headlights that have a black housing are "better"?
Having sidemarkers is "better"?

JDM is rice. Plain and simple.

depending on how your car looks, the black housing headlights dont look too bad, i have em on both of my cars and i think it looks great, they are both darker in color and have carbon fiber hoods, it looks aggressive especially with HID hi/low 's, but mere opinion senor...some people like the JDM stuff for the fifth generation, dont hate!
