It will be a perfect JDM match, since the mold is made from the original. I was amazed myself at how perfectly the clear USDM diffusers matched the amber ones, right down to the very fine separation lines from the OEM manufacturer's molds. The people doing this work for us are very skilled, since their main business is restoration parts for classic cars.

The "whitish" color speedracer refers to is not the color of the plastic, which is clear, but as andyp indicates, the effect of the fine patterns in the diffuser. We will capture all of this.

I think the JDM diffusers hide the amber bulbs a LOT better than Rick's clear ones. I think thats why Honda gave them the 'whitish' coloring or textured the plastic in such a way to make it translucent instead of transparent.
