Why would anyone get upset over that question? If I posted replies in a Viper forum with a signature that included a Bugatti Veyron or McLaren F1 image, I'd be asked a similar question, don't you think?

RE: THE BEST JDM WHEELS,..
I'm not upset but it is something that is pointless to ask. I know honda's and been a member, mod, and a constant on this forum for coming up on 3 years. I own a Honda, I own a Vette, I picked the honda up as a project, got tired of it soI parted it out and still have the shell. It is infact like my 3rd or 4th honda. I've owned 2 boosted civic's whichI built myself along with the turbo setups(no kits). I have done countless swaps in civic's. I figure why not stick around on my favorite forum, full of many of my buddies, and hell might as well help a few here and there while I'm here.

I don't consider it pointless at all. Every picture/image tells a story, doesn't it? I too, have a C5 (Borlas/BPP shifter/Halltech CAI/Watts coalescing filter/catch can, custom shift ****, etc), an 89 Mazda MX6 GT turbo, Lexus RX400h, and of course, a 97 Civic CX that is slowly getting modded. I also had a 68 C3 vert into which I replaced almost every part. Now, if I were to have a picture of my Mazda in my signature and someone said, "Hey, what's with the Mazda?", I would tell my story, since it would be odd that I wouldshow anything other than a Honda (in this forum)in the first place!
Thanks for the story!

Yes, it is and it still works great! Almost all of those pics were taken in my C5, which I had shipped from Mongomery, Alabama (Capital Chevrolet), back in 01 when all the dealerships around here were charging added markups. Capital knocked $2500 off the MSRP and gave me a great deal on the GM extended warranty. The C5 has every option that was available - a couple more than I would've ordered, but the car was already being shipped from Bowling green and was the color I wanted (Magnetic Red), so I grabbed it while I could. It has only 31,000 miles on it at this time.

I am still somewhat new to the honda scene so please exlain to me this... What exactly is a "Jdm" part. is it just an everyday part sold in Japan that made its way over here to the US??

Jdm is supposed to be forinside Japan only. Not to go out of Japan, but somehow in the last 5 years, those domestic parts were able to be shipped outside Japan. Since then, these Jdm scene have grown popular.
Japanese always put their domestic cars first (For their own people to use), in specs, quality and options that's not offered in other countries. Hence, Jdm parts are the fave things amoung us, Honda lovers...
