    Yes they are jdm. well they sell them here anyway. but im pretty sure they are. Im not sure about a fad or anything, but i have had one on my legacy since the first week i had it. i love it. since the mirror is convex, you get no blind spots...at all. very usefull in the crazy traffic. there are alot of other brands and sizes of them. you can even get differet colors. something that you guys might not know about is that over here they turn them a little bit crooked. about a 30 degree angle or so. i have NO idea why they do it unless its to like show off that you have a big mirror. i dunno. but most of the drifters and young people with there VIP styled kei cars do it. hope this info helps out a little! :D

    i don't know where it originated, but i have one in my fit! very nice. i can see the whole inside of my car, the stock one mainly looked out the back window.

    mine isn't a flat mirror though, it's curved.

    The 270mm is the most popular size which I believe would clear the visors. Measure and double check.
