never said their weren't any, infact i've seen some nice ones on japanese sites, but they weren't any different other than the tails.

Eclipses were imported into Japan from the US... since they were manufactured in Normal IL.

and i heard many of the Japanese that own Eclipses in Japan buy their stuff from shops down here.

I think www.veilside.com might have what you are looking for.

The other thing that is different on the Japanese Eclipse is that you were only able to get the Sypder in a wide variety of colors, Black and Red. They had amber on the tail lights, Turning signals mounted in the front quarter panels and the amber lenses in the headlights were not there. The side mirrors were also smaller and motorized so that the mirror itself could be rotated in to the side of the windows. This is because parking is difficult there and in order to fit in some spots the mirrors had to be rotated in to the side windows. I lived there for 6 1/2 years and I had a Japanese frined who had a black one. I have pics if anyone wants to see the Japanese eclipse.

My 2 cents,

Ironically enough all Japanese Eclipses had the 420A too!

The problem I have with JDM/Japanese parts/stuff is it's too crazy. They have really weird taste in Japan. Have you ever seen a Japanese gameshow? It's just crazy and makes no sense, like most JDM/Japanese kitted cars. Sometimes I see a 2nd Gen RX7 or a 240 with a Japanese body kit and I am like, "wow that's clean." But most of the time I see a Japanese kitted car and I am like, "WTF is all that bullshyt?"

What it comes down to is getting attention. How much attention do you want and who do you want it from? I like very little attention and I like it from 45-year-old guys who own Vettes/Vipers and will only notice my car if it's fast. If you want your car to be noticed by lots of high school kids, then get Japanese body kits and lights, and neon and red seats.

There was a topic on the body kit. The company that made it in Japan no longer sells it.

JDM, one of the funniest trends in import culture. It even spawned the ADM , american domestic market idiocy. Now, in defense of some JDM, I admit some of the cars look cleaner on the Honda/Acura side....better then terminator wings and Brospeed tips, but come on! who cares if your hatchback glass came from a type R JDM, or you have JDM gas cap lid. Your a moron for wasting your time in hunting it down. Hmm, spend my day tracking usless JDM stuff......yea, not fun. But I suppose when you do a ricer flyby, you can rest assured that even though no one notices, you have a genu-riceboy-whine JDM hatchback (which is diffrent because of the sticker location)
congrats.
