Fads come and go. Once you've been in the scene long enough, you see things come full circle. Hell, when I got my civic in 93' I cut the springs on 14" steelies with wheel covers and I thought that was hard as hell 10 years down the road I look at my civic now and pics of her from when I was 17 and laugh. It's all good.

hows you like them apples?
That sh*t was FUNNY. That fool got wned:

Funny thing is, I thought I saw him on the road...
But not sure if it was him, this is all I got from trying to take a picture... he had GTR badges on the side of his car.

I don't want to be grouped with all the morons out there who just jump on the bandwagon cause its "cool."
i agree i put acura integra rims on mine cause i got a damn good deal on em lowered it down and i do however have the jdm corners but my oem ones had condensation and i think these are a lot better looking. but othere than that i am stock as a rock even my pea shooter exhaust is still on with my b16 under the hood. TRUE SLEEPER

I like a nice, clean stockish look.

JDM is something you cannot buy here. Something that is not distributed on our shores. If you can buy a part that is made by the japanese but readily availible at any store here, it isnt JDM. You need to locate and import JDM products. Period.

Here and I though it was just some guy named Jay Deem and everybody was just coping his style Ino, I seriously didn't think that). Like said before, it's the same thing a Type R. I'm waiting for stickers or embliems with the word JDM in them.

Everybody builds their own cars the way they like them. Some copy other styles, some come up with orignal ideas. Your own personality and style comes through in your car. Sometimes that means your car looks good, some look like crap. All a matter of taste. Seeya.
