Show me your AUTHENTIC JDM parts...
I'm a few years late to this thread and I'm not sure of the intent: is it JDM or go home?
If so, I don't care where my parts come from if they're quality and and do what I want. I don't know if SPL is JDM but they make the best upper control arm I've seen for the G so that's what I bought.
Does this also mean no cheap copies of good stuff, i.e. stolen designs? Hotshot Headers was stung badly by cheap copies of their designs a decade ago. I have one of their last SR20 headers and they insisted on engraving a word of my choice on the flange to prevent theft of IP. I don't know if they're still in business as I moved away from the SE-R scene right after that. I'm all for protecting intellectual property, though. I work for a research firm and IP is our bread and butter. I purchased my 654 CDs and 489 DVDs because I believe in IP.
Anyone buying known stolen designs is morally bereft.

Nothing crazy. Have a blue Impul start button and a Billion radiator cap. Billion power steering tank and gold Jun oil cap are being delivered later this month (hopefully 2 1/2 weeks)
That shroud is gorgeous! I wish I could find one for the J50 (EX35) platform. In the meantime...I'm having one made.
The struts are pretty sweet! Going to buy the gold limited edition struts as soon as they're available.
