How do you really know when you are getting JDM parts and when someone is trying to pass them off as JDM..i don't want to spend the money for something else.

Usually it will say the company name. Or have Honda on the part it self, stanley and depo make aftermarket oem spec parts. -
Ok thanks..that might have been a stupid question but I just wasn't sure about that.Comment

Not really a stupid question, there might be more things as well that I don't know about as well.Comment

If you can't get it on a USDM car. If it wasn't even an option on a USDM car.
There are a lot of parts that are passed off on ebay as "JDM" when they are really just OEM and available on USDM cars. I always see USDM intakes on ebay, listed as JDM because they are being shipped from Asia. The seller wants a pile for them too, when you could buy the USDM one from anyone who went to an AEM or aftermarket tube for like $30.

JDM just means something was intended for sale in Japan.
Put it this way... if you don't know the difference, then you don't need the part. Don't just buy something because it's "JDM"... that's just pathetic. Buy parts you like.

Well unless you're buying lights than that's not a very good way to tell.Originally posted by SPLCB7 View PostMost jdm parts say Stanley Japan or Honda of Japan I have a accord Hood that says Honda of Japan and my one piece headlights say Stanley Japan....
And Honda of Japan means nothing, it could be a USDM part made in Japan. And Honda of America badges are jdm.
This question is impossible to give a definitive answer on. Every part has a different difference so it varies by case to case.Comment
