Hey, people will buy JDM cause its "special", so I am sure they will sell these things... I think it is hilarious. Considering JDM is still just TOYOTA parts (no better, just sold in Japan) AND the fact that there are NO JDM tC parts.. it is even more funny.

This is another one of my favorites...

JDM side markers! Which would be great... if the tC even had these kind of side markers ...

If you search for "jdm scion tc" you'll get a lot of stupid things... like floormats that wouldn't ever fit the tC, grounding kits, oil filler caps, etc. You know... all those JDM things that us tC owners love.

I would at least respect these sellers if they had some intelligence instead of just putting a word in the auction b/c it's "cool." Like the side markers - could never even be used for the tC... why list it as such?

The tc's are built at the Tsutsumi plant in JAPAN.

and whats the big deal if the product has jdm on it. it probably helps something sell better if it jus had the product name by itself. u obviously have too much time on your hands.

Well sure... let me put rolex in the description and have them find out its really a timex.... THAT is more relavent to this case. So false advertising is a GOOD thing in your book just to get people to look at your product?
