Re: JDM dieing out?
I think there are many mixed oppinions about about "jdm" is. I think here in america it has taken on a whole new deminsion of its own.
I personally think it is the art of looking clean, fast, sophisticated without looking overly extravagant and without giving into the ricer look. I think it is about using the parts that were never available to us, because alot of times there is more to offer in factory parts - no matter the orgin- than there is in many poorly designed aftermarket parters that have no history or backing.

If you look at most cars on the JDM performance side, drifters, drag racers, street racers etc, most cars have all of the above after a few days. When we import cars over here from Japan, we have to spend a lot of time de-tuning them and removing things that are downright unsafe. Pics from meets in Japan show cars that are totally wild - not stock at all. Meh - JDM is over-rated anyway. I've never understood it personally. I like my car the way it is because it's different and more upmarket to what we got here - the fact it's from Japan is a bonus/side-effect. If anything, JDM is USDM hype and nothing else BTW - no - no-one else copies USDM... especially after we saw what you Yanks did to our Holden Monaro when you destroyed it turning into the Pontiac GTO |

Re: JDM dieing out?
everything is somehow labeled "JDM" these days.. any part made in japan is labeled as "JDM".
JDM is nothing more than parts that are factory equipment on japanese market cars. IMO, some "JDM" products look better, such as the SiR EF front end etc, but some people are downright stupid about their JDM addiction. paying $200 for a fucking ashray because its a "rare JDM piece". Get off the "JDM" nuts and mod your own shit your own way. |

Re: JDM dieing out?
my cars CDM.
yay. like i said earlier JDM hondas got some sweet goodies that our cars were left without. I don't blame the people who shell out a lotta cash to get stuff like seats or armrests, hell i'd pay 200 bucks right now if i could have a half decent cup holder in my car.

Re: JDM dieing out?
Maybe it's because I am getting older but I am not seeing as much JDM modded cars as much either. Seems like it died down in the past few years.
I also think it's because of the newer cars are less modifiable. Maybe it's just me. I just remember the Civic's, Integra's and Preludes were easier to mod.
