My custom clearbra is there to protect this 100%-Japan-made car. My heart goes if I see a rock-chipped mark on the bumper/hood. If I really see one then I can say... "Joe, you did the clearbra... you did your best already" Don't feel bad if you are not getting a Jap made car because Toyota is about to produce their economic line(s) in China around 2010.

I am glad you see there are us-people in U.S. who are bone-level-JDM here. I am nothing to compare with my friends in Southern California, and I am sure they are here watching our posts and getting good laughs already. There are strong JDM dudes will do everything to convert us-JDM cars to a true JDM level. (I also hope you get the joke when everytime I use the "us" word )

It's kind of understandable too, even just looking at the Yaris, in the US they usually get a much different and often inferior version of the Japan-spec car. So, these guys want to bring their cars back to the same kind of level as it should have been, with original parts from Japan. Over time, though, "JDM" has evolved to not include just OEM parts, but other parts and mods which are very Japanese-style.
Some may consider it a pointless waste of money, some may consider it fanatical attention to detail, but it does take a lot of time and dedication to track down these odds and ends that will bring your car closer to what it should really have been like...

Thanks again, Mr. vendor/moderator.
