You still sound not a little fuzzy about what's JDM and what's not but all the same, let me help you out.

It's gonna be a few months before intakes start fitting the 07 tCs. These "JDM" intake manfs are probably going to take a little longer to release a version for the 07 MAF. If you're up to it, I suppose you can cut off the mount and weld one that fits, onto your intake.

People seem to confuse JDM with "Made in Japan".
EXACTLY! This intake is only an aftermarket part made by a Japanese company, or a company with a Japanese name. A true JDM part is an OEM part from a car produced in the Japanese Domestic Market.

You know all this talk about JDM is like revisiting the past. I didn't know people were still into it. I'm not saying it's wrong or anything just that I thought the whole JDM craziness died down already.

Nope! A true JDM part is marketed towards and sold exclusively to the Japanese living on Japan. In Japan, there's a market for aftermarket goods so there's a Japanese Domestic Market for the aftermarket and therefore there's such a thing as a JDM Civic turbo kit.
