i guess its the way that you use JDM. JDM could be anything from japan. but JDM and indiglo should never be in the same sentance anywaise. The JDM that everyone is talking about is a look, the "clean" look. I think that JDM styling is a combination of Japanese OEM and certain Japanese aftermarket manufacturers. Its not just buying everything stock off a Japanese car, i think it involves some Japanese aftermarket too.
Do you think people in Japan have a USDM style? to turn their clean cars into stickered up, indiglowed ricers?

My problem is, like you said, these sorts of parts aren't what jane and john "Ngyuen" (thank you
) are putting on their little econoboxes.

For one thing you spelled it wrong. For another, Nguyen isn't a Japanese name. But I know what you mean...I think.My take just to keep things on track:
Japanese Domestic Market = Made in Japan FOR Japan. A lot of people are forgetting the "Domestic Market" part of it. Not that it matters but I think it's worth pointing out.
