Question Anyone seen one of these?

I've seen them on a couple of cars around town and on the web but can't figure out what they stand for. Know there Japanese, but what's so JDM about them? Look kinda cool, i guess.

See them mostly on Honda's and other jdm rice but only a few subies. What do you guys think, do they belong on our cars?

Just something to think about,
-later

Thats what some say but seems a little hazy to me.
Heres some chater i've heard:

( 1 ) They stand for highly mooded or lightly modded. Thats so your challenger knows what he's messing with if asked to race.

( 2 ) They stand for your driver skill. ( kinda what you think ) Like New driver or old grand pa. But also for your racing skills. Lets say you can rev match, twin drift, reverse drift, or have mastered the heel/toe technique. Then your just about pro, but if you can't down shift or are a novice to racing.

( 3 ) Drift or grip. Need i say more?

( 4 ) I have no idea where the hell they came up with this one but, the JDM version of the " Bloods and the Crips". Please do not post about this one i know its stupid. How i got this one is, god only knoes.

Yeah...thats what i've read over the internet. Just wanting to see if any fellow subie owners know.

And again do not call me a idoit for number 4, just saying what i've heard. Think it's pretty stupid myself.

In Japan they signify Drivers that YOU WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM.

The Green and Yellow is under 1 year driving experience. If they hit you in an accident (EVEN if you are stopped at a stop light...) a majority of the blame will be on you....not the fool with the sticker.

The Orange and Yellow is an elderly driver....same rules apply...not sure on what age gets you this.

They SUCK. It's a bunch of BS back in Japan. If you are at a light....stopped and get into an accident (someone hits you from behind) you are at least 30% at fault (for basically being in a motor vehicle)

Now if you get hit by someone with one of these stickers....the percentage you are at fault....goes up....

What they mean here in the states....

Rice boys have probably seen them on a drifters car in Option or some other magazine and thought that they were 'Cool' and 'JDM" and meant something important and started a trend....

Usually if these (Yellow and Green) stickers are on a drift car...It's because the owner just got his license within the last 12 months.....
