jdm fenders

I came across a wrecked DA at a junk yard and it had jdm fenders, side marker holes stamped out perfectly clean, but the fenders were all dented and creased, so i compared them to usdm fenders and they looked exactly the same, only the jdm ones were stamped with side marker holes. so since i was looking for a set of clean fenders to get side markers, found a piece of paper and traced the cut out for a stencil, and made my own usdm to jdm fenders, with side markers…here are a few pictures…






peace…

[QUOTE=h93da6;1971547]You’re just confused. The JDM 88-91 Civic fenders are wider than the USDM, but DA fenders are identical, except for the sidemarkers. Just about every exterior piece on the USDM & JDM tegs are the same, The exceptions are…

Sidemarkers
One piece headlights
Thinner side moldings
Some had power-folding mirrors
Badges different
Glass is bronze
bumper lights on 90-91 are orange, whereas USDM are clear
Taillights don’t have a side reflector

Everything else on the JDM teg is the same as USDM. This is why I’m not going crazy on the JDM stuff. Some of the differences are trivial too. I mean , why pay extra for the taillights just because of the that minor difference? Not to mention that my windows are tinted, so bronze glass is out. The headlights are a must though. They make the front end so bad ass!

BTW- Here’s a fun fact… Many Japanese car enthusiasts are importing USDM parts over to swap onto their cars! So it seems the road goes both ways.

Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?

Figure that out![/QUOTE]

Aren’t some of the JDM pieces like the front bumper(including its associated JDM parts for mounting) lighter (but more prone to pwnage) than their USDM counterparts?

yup. well only the front and rear bumper supports. the fender is basically the same weight give or take a few ounces.
