    Cars made in the States are not JDM. You can make them look JDM which, I guess, would be JDM style, but if the car is American it isn't from the Japanese Domestic Market.

    Japanese- A native or inhabitant of Japan.
    b. A person of Japanese ancestry.
    2. The language of the Japanese, possibly related to the Altaic family, written in kana and Chinese characters.

    Domestic- Of or relating to a country's internal affairs
    A product or substance discovered in, developed in, or exported from a particular country

    Market-A place where goods are offered for sale

    So as you can see, saying something is JDM means that it is from *gasps* JAPAN!! You may have JDM parts and your car may look like a JDM car; it may even be RHD, but unless it was built in Japan to be sold in Japan it is not JDM. It is just an American car built in America, albiet by a Japanese company, to be sold in the states. It just has JDM parts on it.
