The JDM Craze let the "performance" guys actually be able to spend money on making their car look decent without being called a ricer.

Now , its the other way around, people will look "JDM" way before they want to go fast IMO.

How do you know if its JDM? well its just a style, its not neccesarily one thing. Usually its black wheels, bronze wheels, time attack wheels, stock bodies with lip kit, no flashy stuff, having some JDM part on your car whether its a front end conversion or JDM seats, or some **** like that.

Its really gotten watered down, it used to be you had to have more than a few badges and black wheels to be called "JDM" but now, everyone thinks they are.
which is why I have a FUKJDM sticker waiting to go on my car as soon as I get my windows tinted
