Question 1

Where do you ship from?

Accepted Answer

In-stock orders ship from Kabuto's US warehouse in Hawthorne, California. Because the part is already in the US, it moves on domestic carrier timelines; our current positioning is 1–3 business days from order.

Question 2

Will this fit my LHD Civic?

Accepted Answer

Check the exact year, make, model, trim, and transmission, then confirm that the listing is for a US-spec left-hand-drive vehicle. Kabuto lists fitment against those details rather than treating every Civic or every JDM part as interchangeable. The fitment details on /parts show the validated combinations before you order.

Question 3

Are JDM parts and cars legal for US road use?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the specific part or car and the rules that apply where you drive. Federal, state, emissions, lighting, and safety requirements can all matter. JDM origin is not a blanket legal certification, and fitment coverage tells you whether a part is listed for a vehicle—not whether the vehicle or modification complies with the law.

Question 4

What if the part does not fit my car?

Accepted Answer

Stop the installation and keep the part and its packaging. Send Kabuto your order details, the vehicle year/make/model/trim/transmission, and clear photos showing the mismatch so support can compare the part with the documented listing. Once the mismatch is confirmed, the published path is a replacement or a refund; support will explain the next return step.

Question 5

What does the written compatibility guarantee cover?

Accepted Answer

The written guarantee covers the listed-vehicle fitment: the year, make, model, trim, transmission, and US-spec left-hand-drive application shown for the part. It distinguishes that coverage from damage during installation, changes or modifications to the vehicle or part, and legal or regulatory compliance. When a documented mismatch falls within the listed fitment, the policy supports a replacement or refund.
