everyone has an opinion nowadays... take it how u want it. JDM is basically a market of products. i'm sure there has to be jdm rice somewhere... we might not see all of it because most of us see the mainstream jdm... most other people see the mainstream USDM rice.

 

da** straight...these guys just won't listen....

 

But he's wrong? SMSP is a US based corporation, and they and HyTech (Another US based organization) make some of the best Honda headers available...


Regardless... it's my stance that most people buy JDM for the bling value, especially when there's better US made counterparts (Case in point= Comptech rear tie and sway bar > SRR reat tie and sway bar) that can be had for about the same price.

 

Since 2f2f came out I've seen so many aluminum wings on anything and everything..

 

i'm only agreeing on the fact that jdm does is not rice, what if you want to make your integra into a type r, a jdm type r? I dont want anything else for my car just because my goal is to modify my integra with jdm parts, not the cheap ones. I'm talking about an engine swap, the front end conversion, the seats and console, etc. They are better over there. Yes you may pay more, but I like what they've done.

 

Rice is a derrogatory(sp) term for "cheap asian car"
All over the country, rice means different things to different people. To some people, if you own a japanese import, you and your car are instantly a ricer, no matter how clean it is, or how fast. In others , rice is used to describe people with big alluminum wings, blown out struts, underglow neons, those snakeeyes winshield nozzle things, vinyl designs all up the sides, 2 different sets of rims on the car, bad sounding exhausts.

Ricer

Clean

Clean again, and in the next pic, you'll see the same car with a JDM front end.

You might hear someone say " that's so jdm!" and they're either being sarcastic, or saying it looks good.

 

A lot of Bomex and Mugen parts are ugly, despite them being JDM.

This is how it usually goes.

guy 1: check out my ride.

crowd: that's rice! eww!

guy 2: wait a minute, those are genuine mugen parts! jdm y0!

crowd: tiiiite! good shiet man!
