JDM is subjective.

JDM is in the eye of the beholder

JDM changes a lot.

JDM is sometimes actually USDM. Because US have copied JDM so much that they've turned it into USDM. (handas onry)

JDM is modifying your car to stock

JDM is gay

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like JDM. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like JDM. Now you put JDM in a honda, it becomes the ricer; You put JDM into the USA it becomes the illest; You put it in a car it becomes the cool. Now JDM can slide or it can park. Be JDM, my friend.

JDM is subjective to the beholder.

My idea of JDM is owning a jap car (even if its australia delivered) i.e. hondas....

and modifying it with performance/aesthetic mods ideally from Japan (how else jdm?)

It's not about stickers/stance/lows/etc its the modifying style adapted from the japs i.e. bodykits, wheels, lights, intake, exhaust, etc.

You can make your car look JDM and someone will call it USDM vice versa. Everyone's opinion on it is different.

Right now I consider sleeper cars a big jdm thing but no one else gives.

This is JDM

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1293/1326381459_2045df68b0.jpg

As is this...

And this...

http://www.panasport.jp/img/car/levin_ae111_c5c_kai.jpg

However:

http://www.246.ne.jp/~m-tooru/photo/P870.jpg

This is too...

Point is, most styles are JDM [VIP/Bippu, Itasha, what we'd call rice/show], they've been through and have done/doing a lot of stuff we in Australia and abroad have done too. Coining a single style under the JDM banner is akin to calling just one of the styles on OH [Racers, Stanced, Riced, etc] AUDM. There is more to JDM than some trick aero and a panda paintjob, if that was all it required to be 'JDM', hell Europe's hotted up cars are JDM too then...

I think really Jdm means putting JDM parts onto a non Jdm spec car. Because the Japs aways get the most tuned motors, best sus. Hids from stock ect. There laws don't prohibit what they do!
Buy a Fd2 and bring over a half cut FD2R and make yours JDM!

every little bits count, start with interior, the JDM EG6 interior is very different to the EG interior we get here.
change everything from the coins pocket to the centre console.

put good wheels like Enkie, Works etc, dont put stupid crome wheels. and keep it 15-16"

#lowered
# Deep dish wheel's (well atleast most the time)
# Stock Body

JDM is not 'Officially a style' but is more of something people say

Exactly... Jdm seems to just be lowered nicely with some deep dish/ wheels that compliment the body, and just stock kit.

Udsm involves stickerbombing, dropped on it's ****, etc
audm involves matte black bonnets and shitty cannons afaik
eudm involves VIP (Can't remember if VIP was jdm or eudm.. one of them)

I think JDM 'style' if thats what you guys are referring to is, Keeping it OEM (parts from the jap model eg: ek9 into ek4) as much as possible, Nice light weight forced rims, Japanese branded performance parts. Basically following the car trends from japan.

On the side note: Things like USDM or Sexpec (australian car trend) are completely different. For example Americans like everything big (even on honda's), Australians have a thing for leather everywhere as few examples.

OP just go on their forums and have a read, you will see the difference in car fashion. To me personally JDM = Car that was STRICTLY sold in Japan only. JDM Style = Following the Japanese trends in car fashion (re-birthing a car is not JDM its a JDM STYLE aka ek>ek9, eg>eg6 and the list goes on...)

So to make your car JDM style get parts from the Jap model and re birth here or Import one from JAP to be 100% JDM. At the end of the day styling is very subjective as everyone has a different personalities and we do up our cars based on that.

Also be careful of ebay fakes. That is not JDM! if you ebay'd a part in your car unless if its real deal its NOT JDM. And SPACERS Aren't JDM.

my 200 cents.

I am all over with this JDM stuff. I am just gonna build my car the way i like it, and show it the way i like it. Its gonna be street legal, have a good vtec in it, with a full roll cage, good wheels, lowered by coilovers, sounds deadly, goes like a nuclear bomb and eats up v8s, and put whatever stickers i like to be put on it. And if I have enough money, bodykit (I am leaving the orignal rear spoiler as I like it 'smooth') paint it the most unquie colour I can find that everyone jaws will be dropping or drooling. It wont be a Type R replica, its going to resprsent the EK1s, then pretenting its something else.

And yes I have big spotties on my civic right now but saving up a daily driver so I can do whatever i like with my civic now.
