Where to get JDM parts - In Alberta (Canadians Only)

[Cmonster0001]

Does anyone know where to get JDM parts in Alberta or web order in Canada??? Trying to find a good shop around Edmonton is a pain. Especially for the 09+ Matrices.

I don't believe there are any because the Matrix/Ponitac Vibe are/were produced in America, at the NUMMI plant in Northern California.

Well the Matrix is made in Canada, and the Vibe was made at NUMMI, but the point still stands. These vehicles are made in North America for the North American market. There are no JDM parts for them, unless you mean aftermarket, but even then the parts would need to be offered for some other vehicle (Corolla, Blade, etc.), as the Matrix is not sold in Japan.

Which would certainly mean that any "JDM" parts for the Matrix will be "JDM-style", and not made to OEM standards. They'll be poor quality (especially when getting things like headlights -- those will be total junk).

Concerning headlights, getting *actual* JDM headlights for your vehicle would be a mistake because Japan uses left-hand traffic, the US and Canada uses right-hand traffic. Thankfully, actual JDM Matrix headlights don't exist.
