Fake JDM!!!

Ok i had to vent on this whole JDM thing! Everytime i go on ebay or to a Rx7 meet people always want JDM parts. Which i don't mind......except the parts they want are in fact normal Rx7 parts. I saw a guy on ebay today sell the almost complete setup for Ry Takahashi's RX7 (FC). Which included a front lip, sidemirrors, hood TII, and side skirts TII. Sadly the guy swore up and down that he got his info from the MANGA!!! :smiley_12

Almost every pair of S5 taillights I see on ebay say JDM in the title... When I was in the market for a pair I used to ask the seller if they came off of a Japanese car and what makes them different from the USDM lights. They never responded.

98% of the time people that spend the extra money for "JDM parts" just want to be able to say that they have them. There is typically no reason or advantage to having them. Just my .02 anyway.
