    Default WHY JDM?? ITS POINTLESS!

    Really? Is all of the JDM parts needed? I am really getting tired of all these kids bragging about their JDM fog lights they put on their Civic that "Mommy and Daddy" bought them. Whats the point? You put JDM parts on a USDM car to equal crap. Congrats! You made the halfe breed that no one likes and it formally known as "Rice" PLEASE QUIT BUYING JDM PARTS UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL JAPANESE CAR! Plus how do you have a JDM Acura when that company is American?PLease invest your money in performance parts instead and worry about JDM once you have finished with the overall performance.

    Bullshit, you'd be lucky to see 3.


    People buy JDM parts cus they look good, whats wrong with that? JDM front ends are hot as fuck on most cars. Some of it is a little much, like buying a JDM fog light switch for 30 bucks.. kinda stupid in my opinion, but hey you always gotta remember ITS JDM TYTE JO!!1!

    Haha, but honestly it's just a different fad. I don't even know how it started, I joke around about it with my friends all the time and everything becomes JDM.

    I have headlights that are JDM on my car...because they are the JDM version of the cars headlights.

    As for everything considered JDM, that's a little annoying.

    I really dont care for it and see the point really. Its like saying "American Muscle is the best! Imports suck!" when alot of the muscle car parts are being made in Asia now.

    why do anything to a car?

    It's an enthusiasm and a hobby.. fuck off if you dont like it.

    I dont make fun of your truck, why make fun of the way people put together their cars.

    I agree, people annoy me with calling everything on their car JDM, but they dont know what they're talking about and i punch them in the face.

    it's a hobby to find things people like for their cars.

    Oh CMON! Even I make fun of my truck! Try it! Lets see I call it Pooptruck. The shit with wheels, The green log. My truck sucks ass.

    I say all of that because cuz of the ignorant shitz who give imports a bad name and reputation. You know its bad when AZNs start buying Cobras and Corvettes.

    Why? Because Asians got style? Lol, some of the worst travesties ever to be called Rice come straight out of J-land. Just because someone is Asian doesn't give them automatic style points.

    But if you are really serious, make some shirts and signs and get some of your friends together and picket NOPI. Then you would really be the poster boy for the Anti-JDM movement.

    its just a trend that happens to appeal to a lot of people.

    i mean go back a few years when the whole JDM thing was unheard of... body kits were the shit, now its a nice simple clean lip
    dont take anything i say srsly. its the interwebs.

    Your rant fucking blows. Instead of /thisthread, you should go /yourlife. It's hard to come across an emo asian kid that drives a truck

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!

    depending on the car, a lot of JDM parts do look better and are more functional.

    people buy an OEM JDM fog light switch because it was supposed to be there.

    not everyone wants a metal toggle switch there when there could be a perfectly good purpose-built switch made for the job.

    just because people say it, doesnt mean its not useful. understand this, most people with hondas are retarded 17 year old wannabe gangstahzz trying to fit in.

    Not necessarily. But Japanese market cars are built more for enthusiats than they are for economy. Lets look at a couple examples.

    Prime example of this is the 240. American market was gutless, a chick car. Japanese market was turbocharged and much more geared towards performance.

    Soarer/SC. American market, gutless again, luxury car. Japanese market, twin turbocharged.

    So yea, the Japanese market was more about speed at least.

    alright the civic and integra R were fully purposed race chassis with subframe reinforcements and 180-200 hp engines in 2300 lb cars stock with huge bolstered seats to keep you straight on the track.

    and where else are you going to get a kickass built-in navigation system?

    I dont know about other people but i see the reason why people search for these parts... because they're better.

    for the most part, JDM stuff is pretty cool cause its clean w/acception of the amber marker lights. I think clear looks much better (minus taillights, and that Euro clear crap). The thing I think is completly gay is RHD. Whoever wants to shift with their left hand should move to England or Japan. Seriously, thats the most retarded thing ever....well, besides FWD that is....

    I used to laugh at people when they said JDM this JDM that....but that was when I owned a domestic and had no options like that available. Now that I do , there are a few JDM WRX parts that I have now, and they are far better and more functional than stock USDM WRX pieces.

    Because a lot of JDM parts look good as fuck. JDM headlights for 4th gen preludes and acura RSX's change the look of the front end completely. The fog lights on the RSX look pretty sweet also. The mirrors on my prelude are just cool looking and blue (if they're JDM) plus the interior parts make the car look way better. Digital climate control....on a 1992?? TV in the dash...stock option!

    I guess its an ATL thing. I see a lot of AZNs here in Mustangs now. The white guys have the Bimmers and there are a few Hispanics with S2000. The only people who drive rice are the kids.

    well its kinda like this, i see your point, but the jdm market has some parts you just cant find in the US, so if i like them or want them i will pay for them with my money, now dou you have a problem with what i do with my time or money?
