Here is mine... 2009 model in black sapphire pearl (8U0), although is looks also quite blueish in the sun, which I like a lot. Interior camel. Rims are 19". Hope you like it...

Very nice & shiny. What's the ride on the Cobblestones like? I see you also have the brake lights on the rear bumper, all ours have them here in Australia as well.

Yes, thats a little bumpy but overall I was surprised about the just marginal difference between the original rims and these 19" (with 245/35ZR 19 tires). But these cobblestones streets are luckily rare here in Germany. I assume shocker replacement would significantly increase comfort IMO (they now have 104k km)
BTW the rear lights in the bumper are not brake lights but additional fog lights which is a legal requirement for the German model (among other things).
Cheers

Has anyone tired to JDM their cars?

If I intend to keep mine then I will probably do some tasteful modifications to it. Then again, I want to keep it unmolested because of its excellent condition.

Tinted windows with top down and windows up is a nice look.

Not necessarily 'ricer' since ricer is somewhat of an derogatory term used to describe cars that have been distastefully modded.

If I have plans for my car in the future then it would be tastefully modded according to Japanese trends for this car and its time period. Early 2000 popular mods.

got it and thanks!
i was not trying to put anything or anyone down, I just didn't know the difference.
so JDM is a style in the Asian or specifically the country of Japan using parts produced by them and upscale with a professional look.
where a ricer might be a cheap mod looking like it was thrown together.
