you probably mean do the buy product that are made in the usa. they are starting to catch on realizing some of our stuff is almost as good as theirs, but we and i think they also know they are still head of the game. No they do not have the same enthusiast as we have for their products (jdm). They mostly have the tops products. we are in the other hand still trying to find better ideas and strategies to become the better market.

if you have a Japanese stick with japan parts b/c they have bin work with imports for how many decades. all we do is copy and try to take their ideas or just start where they left off. Japanese car - JDM, Muscle Car - USDM

Thats What I Mean. No They Dont Hardly. Why Would They Want To. They Have All The Well Most Of The Best Parts/products Over Their. OR IN THE OTHER HAND IF YOU MEAN WHY IN THE HELL WOULD THEY WANT OUR VERSION OF OUR EVOS. Motors from japan pull more hp then us spec dont know why but maybe of restrictions

As much as I know, yes they do the opposite way as we like to do

IE

Gets Acura badge on their Honda vs USA putting Honda on the Acura
I also heard of people getting few misc. parts from USA, like small interior parts to add to the touch. I don't know when it comes to bumpers and all, but I wouldn't be surprised.

As for the EVO's I don't know that much

Yes that I agree, but few people like to stand out as much as we like to by getting the JDM parts
It's funny When I am in Japan and I see Acura Badges on the Integra, and few American parts/product at Autobacs in my hometown.

I know that the Japanese roll around like G's when it comes to VIP cars. Big black car, big chrome rims, tint, etc. Just like the big ballers in America.

as for exterior parts they do all aftermarket
