I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

The tC, btw, was designed for the US market and is therefore 0% JDM. Though it is nice.

btw, most honda/acura vehicles within the United States were more than likely built in the Unites States.

The TC was fully assembled in Japan...being that it was 'designed' for the US market has no reflection on the simple fact that is is fully assembled in Japan.

actually, the only way to make your car JDM is by buying one from japan or something or having it imported here. no matter how many JDM parts you put on a USDM civic, it will never be JDM. it will have JDM parts but it wont be JDM.

The key word is in the last letter of "JDM": Market. There are USDM cars built in Japan, and there are JDM cars built in America. The country where the item is to be sold is the market. Being that the tC is for the US market, and not for the Japanese market, it is 0% JDM. This isn't to say that it isn't a cool car, because it is nice, but it is not "100% JDM" as you said it was, Tommy.
