    how are amber corners "JDM"?

    i was looking at some hondas on used japanese cars.com (straight from japan) and every car (civic,accord,inspire,prelude...ect ALL had CLEAR corners or you know one pieces with clear corners. well my point is i rock the amber corners thinking it's "JDM" and don't get me wrong i like how they look but it doesn't seem true jdm seems more like clear corners are more "JDM" does anyone have pic's of cars in japan with stock amber corners? how are ambers "JDM" when all i see over there is clear corners????

      it may have started when the company "vision" started producing amber colored corners for the 92-95 civics

          its just a cheesy USDM marketing plot... same as when they sell projector headlights as "JDM BLACKHOUSING PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS" - they are far from jdm... cheap american made leaky housings is what they are. the term JDM gets people to buy them, people think they are buying into the JDM styling (which has recently been the "cool" trend)

                yeah your right CPmike, you know it's funny when you go on ebay and use the search and type in jdm "whatever" when you get the results EVERYTHING says jdm, like jdm cupholder or jdm lightbulb, ashtray and so on.... come to think of it projectors arn't really jdm either

                  Anyways... They aren't JDM... they are sort of JDM style... but...bleh...

                  Although phatty's are JDM Amber corners... but that's a story for another time...

                  kmart is right... they are purely inspired by the JDM Vision amber and smoked amber corners for 92-95 Civics...

                    and Yes the Jdm amber corner idea came from the amber Vision jdm corners for civics.
