fake JDMs werd??? - Honda Prelude Forum

SiR-P12eLude · 05-09-2002, 07:44 PM

hey guys ya ever heard of some FAKE JDMs. what i heard about them are that they are indifferent from the real JDMs just that the wirings are the same as the stocks. so that means no need to cut wires to make it fit. Has anyone ever heard of them...??

i just thought the fake one was made from CHINA ha ha ha...

No I never herd of them. Where do you get em?

SiR-P12eLude · 05-09-2002, 08:37 PM

my brother's friend that works in trust (now called promax because someone bought the name out and is not allow to carry on the copyright name) says he can get it for around 215 but i'm tryin to get it for bout 200 or less BRAND NEW though i heard that there anit no more BRAND NEW JDMs also. that's still pretty much but it does save you the hassle of wiring and sh*t like that.

If you can get em for $200 or less let me know? Also ca you get pics?

i think i may have seen them on ebay a couple times. its painted like neokai's but the corners are as one with the headlights. the shape and style of the headlites are like stock. the only part not painted is the bowl part of the headlights. not bad but i like the real jdm look better.

Fake JDMS are made by several companies now (even though the origins are all the same, Taiwan)... some companies are like MatriX and crap like that... they retail like 250 new or something like and they do use ur stock harness (9006 and 9005 bulbs instead of the h4 and h1 bulbs from japan) ... they make both Black housing and chrome housing...

This is what i heard from them... i never had experiences with them but like most cheap "aftermarket" taiwanese made items... they fit like ****...

Just remember... literally nothing beats OEM products... especially JDM ones

Can anyone post some pics of the "fake" ones. I need to get new highlights pretty soon.

Jordan_4WS · 05-09-2002, 11:39 PM

Hmm... Would anyone want to get in on a JDM healight group deal? I could probably get real ones for $325-375 a piece depending on the quantity.

I have seen some fake 2 peice jdms, On the cover of MaxSpeed ( i think that's the name of the mag) There is a 4th gen prelude. ITs pretty ugly IMO , its got that predator or cyber kit or some ugly kit on and its got like lights that look like the JDMS, with the black housing and all but its 2 peices.

Are the fake ones you guys talking are one or 2 peices?

H22aPoweredBatMobile · 05-10-2002, 12:27 PM

ive never seen fakes for the prelude..ive seen the fakes for the 94-97 accord..can someone post pics of the fake jdms for the prelude? jus curios to see what it looks like

Z · 05-10-2002, 12:54 PM

How many times is someone gonna say "if we get a group buy for real jdm for 325" ... so far i heard this for about 6 months and trust me, i tried talking to those guys on ebay and most of them are dick heads cause they know they can just sell it on ebay for 375+ easy....

So guys just save up buy a nice set off ebay... i recommend it then buying the "aftermarket" type from Matrix... and the "fake" ones are one piece like the JDM ones not two pieces...

If you've seen the two piece on ur probably thinking about the projectors type headlamps ...

Yeah you can do that...but the other guy was saying like it was a regular JDM function which it's not.

So you moved the side marker blinker up to the light? Interesting idea...but I think it would look a little funny with the one blinker down at the bumper and the other in the light...I guess I would have to see it...

BoostedH24 · 05-10-2002, 01:17 PM
