But i can put tiens on my car (they make them...in japan) and Volks and bride seats and takata harnesses and a GReddy(or trust if you use the "JDM" name) twin turbo kit, yes they make one for my MUSTANG. So would that make it JDM? Oh....well no, since its a USDM car.....but guess what SO IS YOUR HONDA! They NEVER sold a lhd honda civic in japan and they never sold a 240sx. Whats my point? GET OVER IT! JDM is nothing new and imo just a term people use because they dont know what else to call this new style.

btw i guess iam i ricer since i dont have any JDM parts....

OH and before you all get pissy with me, i dont hate the JDM style at all, i like most of it and love VIP style cars. But its getting out of hand with the "JDM" this and that all ready.

+1

Most of the JDM cars are just tastefully modded, the theres POS's, and then you have Real JDM cars, or realy good conversion kits.


But honestly (I'm using honda as the example, because I own one, along with half of TR) the case with my civic, how else can I mod it and make it tastefull, right? I mean going for that "Clean" look is just called JDM by so many, Honestly I love "JDM" STYLED cars, BUT i love a eg hatch with mods that look great, and move fast, and have nothing to do with japan, its so hard to explain my point

i agree with saleen...they say their stuff is from japan, so what? if you go to japan, they go nuts over cars sold in america (like the scion tC)...so why isn't everyone buying tC's and throwing mods on them?...don't get me wrong i liked some cars that are considered JDM but its a little old to claim all these JDM parts on your car...i really dont care if it came from japan or if it came from someone's backyard in kansas, if it looks good/makes you faster/enhances performance then that's all that matters

even you "JDM" kids are starting to butcher the words "Bosozoku" and "Touge"...

just call it HTH (Honda-Tech Hype) style not "JDM" style.
