Default WTH, saw an ef9 with jdm side moldings and possibly sideskirts, how is this be possible?

I was driving on the 215, and saw behind me a white hatchback. "Wow, that's a REALLY clean hatchback," i thought to myself. Besides for that, they weren't teenagers or anything, it was an old man who obviously bikes because he had a bike rack mounted on the roof. When he drove by, i didn't suspect anything, so i let it pass.

It wasn't until that it was in front of me that i saw that the side moldings had the jdm indent on them, all around the car! And i am pretty sure i saw the side skirts on the car as well! But, as for anything else, like the jdm rear lip, i couldn't tell because it all happened so fast.

If i wasn't headed to work, i would have followed the guy, haha.

But the weird thing is that he was ollllddd. Since it was in such nice condition, i have a feeling he was the first owner as well.

But do you have any links to places where you could buy that stuff?

Really, they're from the 88-89? Coulda sworn i haven't seen that indent on them before. But, no, it didn't have the jdm front, if it did i would have noticed from the beginning. It was the first thing i looked for when i saw it in the rearview

My princeple from HS (now retired) has a 91 Dx he picked up (new in 91) because he knew it was the last year they'd be made. He said if he sells it, he'll give me a call first . Some old people like honda's too.

Yeah, found a few threads on it. It was an 88-89 hb, not a 90-91 as i thought.
