but how do you know if your car is jdm or whatever
hmm got a pic???
All USDM 8G Galants were made in the US in Normal, IL at the "DSM" plant.
If your car were made in Japan, the VIN would start with "J."
Even if it were made it Japan, it doesn't mean it's necessarily JDM, which means Japanese Domestic Market, meaning cars made in Japan for use in Japan. I'm glad you ask that because most people don't know this and just call everything "JDM."
So then what would that car be? :smt017Quote:

so a car made in japan wasnt a JDM car
on a jdm car, you shift with your left hand. on a usdm car, you shift with your right hand.
I shift with both hands 8)Quote:

Ok thanks. That means my car was built in my town....WOOT
Yep, right there in Normal 8)

I'll be easy about it
Jdm is anything that is imported from Japan that is on your car... Example... My front bumper, on my USDM galant (United States Domestic Market), is the factory bumper on the VR4 over there... So over here on my car it's jdm... To them is factory specifications..
Now Paypal me $50..
^^ we've already got this taken care of, chief :lol:
He was talking about the car itself, not components. 8)
if it's already been answered earlier in the topic, no need to be kinda a douche about it.Quote:
