What is JDM?
Lately I received several email messages which suggest that some people believe JDM is a company that makes aftermarket accessories.
To set the record straight, JDM are the initials for Japanese Domestic Market.
It's a short hand for accessories and parts that Honda makes for the Japanese Domestic Market (which usually gets all the good stuff from Honda first). While it's true that some Honda parts made for its domestic market don't fit cars made for export, this is most often the execption, and we would not sell any JDM parts that do not fit US cars.

To further clarify, Honda recognizes three specific markets:
1) Japaneese Domestic Market (i.e. Japan and Asia proper)
2) North American Market (i.e. U.S., Canada, and South America)
3) Eurpoe/Oceania (i.e. European countries as well as Austalia and New Zealand)
Utah
P.S. Yes the JDM gets all the good stuff.
