It's not JDM, it's just an ED3.

jhmed3657ms031396

J = Japan (Nation of Origin)
H = Honda
M = Passenger Car, Built in Japan (Vehicle Type)
ED3 = Civic Sedan 1.5L
6 = 4 Door Sedan, Automatic
5 = LX Civic Sedan
7 = Civic LX w/AC
M = 1991
S = Suzuka, Japan (assembly plant)
031396 = it was the 31,396 car out of the assembly plant

So. . it seems like the car was built in Japan according to that Vin number.

But being an ED chassis, it was destined for non-local sales. So it's not JDM.

You are correct. . it was assembled in Japan, but meant for sale overseas. .

Sort of like my RSX-S. . it was completely assembled in Japan but meant for the US market. .   Surprised  that's why i did not get the Black headlights with the HID's and random other JDM goodies. .  Crying or Very sad

What makes you think it's from Japan?

It appears your car has been raped.  I can respect good bodykits. But your bumper has been molded to the fender, i guess that's why the bumper hasn't been replaced, because it's now an integral part of the cars design.

Also, edit one post and keep all your pictures in it.
