I think JDM is so over used, everyone is always like "OMG JDM IT MUST BE HOT," it gets annoying, and im sorry, but just because it comes from japan, does NOT make it cool. Anyways, I hate the word....

I dont mind it unless its in a wrong context.
Much like all of aftermarket JDM parts for my Sentra SpecV. Theres really nothing wrong with that except for that the Sentra isn't made in Japan. But I did see this sweet JDM style Mitsubishi Eclipse the other day, that thing was mad tyte! -Ti |

People usually don't know what real jdm is. I like jdm oem parts cuz usually they fit better with the car like it was orginally designed.

I could care less... but it's a HIGHLY overrated word. "my car looks JDM" is a poorly constructed sentence once you spell it out... "my car looks japanese domestic market"

The term jdm is used as a verb, so i really dont see how the word itself is annoying- the way stupid people use it is another story

It's an acronym consisting of two adjectives and a noun. Japanese = adjective Domestic = adjective Market = noun [/english lesson] As long as it's used correctly I think it's ok.

when people think JDM they think proformance parts, not stock parts from another county (witch in many cases are the same everywhere, sept your buying it right ouf of japan rather then a local dealer, aka getting ripped off)
remember most the parts in our cars are technicly jdm, its just a select few parts that look diff. --------------------  |
