I always thought that TRUE JDM cars were never tinted but I have noticed that modern JDM cars have at least a very light tint.... I still prefer the OLD SKOOL JDM look of NO tint... Straight up CLEAN SLAMMED RIDE!!!

UUggghhhh... MATT I dont think Bumble Bee will be coming SOON.... Going more with Cistern Look

If I remember correctly, it is not permissible to tint the front drivers side and passenger windows in Japan. Unlike it is done here in some states.

But true JDM might look something like this:

Sorry, not my car. That is the Japanese RHD CT version. The picture was for the hood lifts you asked about. They are true JDM items and cost 15,800 yen or about $205. They are available on the Japanese version of ebay which is Yahoo Japan.

Here's a link:

Good luck.
