Question "Clear"Corners - What do people in Japan do?

Do the folks in Japan mod their "clear" corners with American amber ones?

Just curious. I have to make a trip to Tokyo in a couple of weeks ... thinking there maybe an arbitrage opportunity what with all these OEM amber corners lying around ...

Everyone in America tries to do the JDM styling, everyone in Japan tries to do the USDM styling

This is correct, the Japanese go to great lengths to 'Americanize' their cars.

Lived over there for 3 years.

yep. japanese want USDM, americans want JDM.

One of the biggest/famous case would be Integra Type-R.
JDM conversion is a dream for all the ITR owners here.
however in japan, people are anxious to do USDM converion to their ITR.

JDM always look nicer IMO, but I guess thats "played out" over there.
