Haha. Ricer JDM trendwhore. I hope you laughed in his face.

I'm totally with the side of spending money towards power. The whole innocent "Maybe some of us just want a sylish ride" is usually just a b/s answer for why they've spent enough money to pown SS's and 5.0 stangs and all they have to show for it is a $500 ebay kit that fit the car like a square peg in a round hole, and another 1k+ on an "Agressive Stance" for all that drifting and street courses i'm sure they're doing. I'm not saying i'm some kinda sleeper obsessed jerk, but don't get sidetracked on what would really be fufilling down the road.

You drive a 740 BMW because it's got style to roll in
You drive a mid grade honda/acura because your parents thought they were reliable

But then again, what the hell do I know?

For the slow. There aren't any JDM "A" letters. Because if it is JDM then it is a "H" letter.

Thank you for clarifying.

I just don't like people who say to put a JDM red badge on your car...and then put a red acura badge on.

I don't like people that change the badging, period. My Acura isn't and will never be a Honda. Yes, it is built with 90% Honda parts but it was marketed in the US as an Acura, so it will stay that way.

I agree. Even though a honda is a honda, and an acura is an honda (in its simplistic sense), I feel a little bit more prestidge driving an Acura.

I don't mind switching to Honda badges on a Integra. It's a Civic unibody anyhow.

Actually it is a honda, 100%, no if ands or buts about it, just because you bought it in america doesn't mean it's not a honda, Acura is just a stunt by honda to sell luxery vehicles by using a different name, it's all honda, even though you may hate it, it is still a honda, will always be a honda, made by 100% honda parts, not 90%. It's just like Jrkbad said, you might feel a little bit more prestigious driving in an acura, but it's the same as if you were a prince, IT DON'T MEAN $HIT. LOL
