Put "JDM" in the description:

JDM AIR FRESHNERS KURUMA SQUASH HONDA SCION ACURA TC XB

Um, JDM *air freshener*? When did Toyota start installing air fresheners
as JDM equipment?

JDM has to be the most overused acronym in Aftermarket marketing.

Google JDM and E-bay you get Japanese Domestic Market. Not at the
acronym site: (someone could add it).

Yup. Supposedly, if you order "JDM" parts, you get what would come with
the car if sold in Japan.

But on eBay and a lot of other places, sellers are adding the letters JDM
to a buch of *crap* that the automakers wouldn't put on their cars, but
the Ricers see JDM and (some newbies) go GAGA.

Also, JDM is not always a good thing, when fitting a JDM engine to a NATO
car with a different wiring harness, differe emission controls, etc.

Look on eBay and you'll see more than one Supra, 240SX, Mitsubishi
whatever or Nissan with "Fresh JDM engine from Japan, less than 30,000
miles."

OK, why are you selling it? Botched job, perhaps?
