Yeah, JDM stuff has blown up recently. Went to stater bros. and I was glancing at all of the import magazines, all of them have "JDM" somewhere on the front page... its a shame. Oh well. It'll die out.

Only good thing about the JDM bandwagon is hopefully prices will fall down.

So if it's a fad, maybe people like to be stylish. Perhaps you are the one who needs to get over it and let people do what they want to their cars.

jdm is what you make it. There are so many styles you can make of it. It can be all hard to get factory parts, it can be rare disconituned aftermarket parts, its everything. I hope to god its not a bandwagon though.

JDM is becoming a bandwagon but everything starts from somewhere. JDM style to me looks a lot better and the quality of the parts are a lot better than USDM counterparts. The reason why JDM is becoming so popular is because not everyone is a ricer. The JDM bandwagoners are the people that buy the most expensive products just to say that they have it installed on there car.

and why is this in ITR forum??

Mods.. lock this useless/nonsense post

Is JDM bandwagon????...i have an answer to that age old question...YES is the answer!...everybody is all about spending thousands of dollars to get JDM parts!! WHY??... why would you take a stock car and then spend thousands of dollars to make it stock again??..that doesnt make sense..
You dont know crap about JDM.. u know what JDM mean??

you are just wrong man.. do more research .. JDM is not only OEM JDM parts..
who the hell in the world would do such a thing like you said??
It's to upgrade engine, ehx, intake, suspension..
are you reffering to aftermarket JDM parts or OEM JDM parts??

and why the fugg do you care what other people do?

i am not saying JDM is ALL good.. but there is reasons to buy JDM parts.
say if you wanna do internals.. who else makes a good cam other than japan for japanese cars? are you stupid? say there are 2 options.. 1 cam is made in japan and it does a good job. other one is made somewhere else and it's sthitty.. what would you get? of course JDM.. that's why people get JDM u know?

the worst, stupidest post ever in Honda-tech..
