I have a new appreciation for my car, and for the way people drive in Toronto (even though we have plenty of idiots, Miami was a wakeup call)
hahahah I am making this read to my coworkers

this is South Florida for everyone no turn signals, if you do tell someone that you want to change the lane by using it, Other drivers will take up space and won't let you. It's a jungle out here! Hence I got hella supertone honks.

I saw a huge difference when I did a road trip to Knoxville, I couldn't believe that people can be nice on roads :P

It wasn't that way. Just a nod of mutual appreciation.

It was a busy, 6-lane road, with a 30 mph limit and lots of streetlights. So unless he was boosted or crazy... feeling pretty confident how that would have gone.

being from boston and owning (and loving) the m******* title i will say blinkers are so outdated here, we have the DOT signs on highways pleading us to use our "blinkah"....getting the tail as turn has made me use it a bit more

Does anyone have any experience with JDM Parts Ninja (or japanauctionparts.com)? I'm pretty sure I have heard their name mentioned on here before and I am interested in purchasing this grille:

Curious - V36 Carbon Grill (late model sedan) | Japan Auction Parts

I'm worried because on there contact us page there is no phone number, physical address, or email address? Just a place to send them a message with the hopes they get back to me. Any information is useful.

JAP is 100% legit, they do not have a contact number/address because they are housed out of Japan. Parts are true authentic pieces. I've personally ordered a TON of things from then along with a large amount of members on here.

If you have any questions then send them a message, Robbie and Mike are extremely quick and friendly to respond. Yopu can also find them via FB and message them there too.

That's what I figured considering most of their parts are rare JDM stuff. Robbie actually replied to my inquiry super fast with more pictures and additional info. Will be placing an order soon thanks guys.

I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them. They have always been very responsive, and even when things have taken longer to get than expected they have always kept me up to date. I usually deal with Michael there, but Robbie is also a member on here so you know they'll always try and take care of the forum members.

If he didn't recognize your car from this forum, he did not deserve the respect conveyed by the nod.

IDK about that. I spend most of my time in the Sedan thread, where I suspect few IPL owners would go for fear of slumming.

If I see tastefully modded G, no matter the model, I start to wonder what the screen name is associated with it. Doesn't happen often up here in the north... VQ|North doesn't even stretch its reach this far up
