Who can guess whats missing?

Hey all, Well the FD I bought had the spoiler and what I am guessing were rear canards removed. I just cant figure out what kind might of been there judging by the mark it left behind. Does any have an idea or pictures maybe as I would like to bring this FD back to what it was originally modded as. Here are some pictures of what I mean.

its not uncommon in canada for JDM cars to have an extra set of stick-on reflectors in the rear for safety inspection

yeah the reflectors are an extra ''safety'' requirement on JDM cars in canada....whatever gets it ''legal'' on the streets :p

If its only mud guards then I guess im not going to be putting them back on. They were probably removed to fit the rear diffuser better if that's the case.

Strange...I used to have a Canadian-market FD and it just had the normal OEM reflectors. I understand that your car was a JDM car that was brought over, but still, it shouldn't need to be any different from the Canadian models that were sold there. IIRC, the only differences about the Canadian model compared to the USDM was that it had headlight sprayers and daytime running lights.

I've seen a lot of Canadian FDs and I've never seen anyone add extra reflectors like that.

The reflectors on JDM FDs don't light up since they have no lamp assembly built in. Yeah those extra reflectors are nasty and I'd wire in the Canadian versions.

They were removed for that reason, but it really wasn't required. That diffuser can go on with the rear mud guards.
