Could someone give me the part number for an EG JDM Tailgate.
I'm despirate for a new one to repair my car, but no one's selling one as I've posted up on like 5 forums.
So I'm turning to Honda to see if they can dig me one up for an over the top price

JDM tailgates have two plastic lugs which hold the plate on at the bottom.
US dosn't. But as I still have these on mine, I could just glue them on and no one would no

Aren't they magnets on the bottom? Mine is USDM. The two holes on the top are where you bolt the plate on. The two nubs on the bottom are magnets. They just hold the plate so it doesn't rattle.

A buddy and I just tapped and dyed two holes on the bottom of my sedan, worked perfectly.

Nooo, here's what I'm talking about...
You can clearly see the two clips which hold your plate on at the bottom...
US tailgates don't have them. That's the only difference... Well yours come with magnets apparently

Eh...ours have a garnish inside and on mine it has two small clip-like things. Similar to the ones in that pic but smaller, you sit the plate in them and then bolt them at the top.
I really think you'd be fine getting a USDM tailgate man, maybe someone can show him some pics?
