    What are the classifications for a rare part these days? I have some things that I might be able to post up.

    "(of a thing) not found in large numbers and consequently of interest or value."

    General rule of thumb is that the part should be out of production or not readily available, but this isn't always the case. Location may play a role, as an item may be somewhat common overseas, but a person could argue there are only three here. OEM JDM parts generally wouldn't be considered rare unless they were an infrequently purchased option or low volume, such as M2 parts.
