Jap FD vs. NA FD
Hi guys!
I'm new to this messageboard, so don't flame me if this question is in the wrong place!
Anyways, regarding external parts, what are the differences between Jap-spec 92-98 FDs and FDs in north america? I know the side blinkers on the front fender are on non-american FDs, but is that it?
Somehow the jap models seem to look better (they look wider and lower), is it because most of their FDs wear lower profile or racing tires? maybe i'm a bit biased....
Here are pics for comparison.....
jap-spec.......

another jap FD.....
And finally North American FD
Sorry for the long post.....but I've wanted to get this clarified for a long time.
I don't know, I just these vibes from the jap FDs when I look at them that just "isn't there" in the FDs over here.
