Also, it looks like you toed out your ugly chrome rims. I bet that car handles awesome! You must know so much about suspension set ups, eh? Hey, want to meet up at a road course some time and hot lap (if I can keep up, LOL!).
PS: Your car is fucking ugly and my SC430 pulls more tang.

JDM = FAD, since all modders follow trends to begin with, that fact is a given. It is quite hilarious but some Japanese modders go all USDM or EDM. Japanese Direct Market has been addressed quite well in the posts above. For JDM OEM parts, it is mostly for looks.
Why go with amber sidemarkers on your silver car when you can go with clear or smoked markers from Japan. Why try to bake your headlights to remove your corner diffuser or paint your HID ballasts if you can get chrome ballasts and clear diffusers from Japan. It is all about looks and minimal performance when it comes to OEM stuff.
After-market Japan products just offer higher performance and quality for the most part.

I think the performance whores out there will keep the JDM thing going for most of the Japan imports models. Bling/VIP has no business on most of the cars that should be on this forum IMHO. What use does a quatermile or autoX car have with 90 pound spinners. A set of Volks, Professors or HRE's would do you much better and still keep you in "baller status" LOL

Most of it is style, as evidence by the right hand drive thing that everyone is doing (but I cant understand why).
The jdm thing is over though, buying convertibles and flaming people on the internet is the newest thing!

Agreed on the non cosmetic JDM shit night and day differences sometimes
