do you have power folding mirrors?
Look at your fog lights are they HID's?
Do the have LEDs on the fogs as well?

many other small differences that others will input
but those are the obvious ones

According to this post, you can determine the destination from the last letter of the model code. In the example it is "A" for USA and Canada.

hrmm............... I wonder why some people have JDM and some people have USDM. doesn't make sense, it should all be the same unless they did the upgrade themselves... or maybe I"m just thinking too narrow, and just looking at United States and not the whole world
