I normally don't photochop things on people's car's because I'll start getting a lot of request but anyhow I think your car is nice so all you need is the parts I did on your car, if you think your lip makes a difference... LOOK AGAIN!

So what's really "JDM" I mean, I know what it stand's for. But is it companies that are originated from Japan? Or is it stuff manufactured from Japan? Two different things, because there are a lot of Japanese companies you would be surprised that they manufacture their parts in China, Taiwan etc... Im just curious?
I don't know if you knew this but I started investigating a lot of companies and found out SHOCKING results... did you know you can get a part manufactured in china send it over to Japan which most of these big tuners are, than from japan they do little or no modifications to the product and then send them over here and call it "made in Japan". Its very rare to find a company that really truely makes a product 100% in Japan. A company would struggle if they did that because manufacturing cost are VERY expensive. My friend who owns a factory in China makes stuff for BLITZ! can you believe that? He doesn't make a lot of parts, he makes little parts that aren't crucial I.E. Cast Iron U Bend for supercharger, piping etc... Some of the most crucial and delicate parts are made in Japan where China and Taiwan have not perfected. Sorry I didn't mean to steal this thread I Just sometimes I am clueless when people are like "my car is JDM" and I see parts on there that sure the company is from Japan but those parts are not made in Japan. So that was my question to you? Is JDM have to be manufactured in Japan, or company has to be originated? Or Both?

If you get technical about it, nothing's made in Japan anymore like you said. But things don't have to be if quality workmanship is still ensured. It shouldn't be a surprise to many that manufacturing costs in Japan are super high compared to neighboring surrounding countries. The most logical thing for them to do to survive is to out source their manufacturing yet still make sure the design and quality is good. It's not only the Japanese that manufacturer outside their own country. Some Bavarian company makes half their fleet sold in the US in good old South Carolina...
So no, JDM doesn't mean it has to be made in Japan. Technically, it refers mostly to companies that are just headquarters there.

So after some trial and error, we end up with 25mm front and 6mm in the rear. It seems to me the rear is still a tad bit taller than the front(the side skirt is still a little slanted), so I might change it the setting later on after it sets. With that setting, theres still a finger width wheel gap. But the overall height is nice.
Will do. After work.
