as stated JDM describes the japanese "look" i guess youd call it, low with PHAT wheels isnt how i would describe it, some examples

Basically, this is how stock cars come in Japan. So essentially, this is what you would call JDM.

JDM is a japanese spec standard production car.

 

What kids refer to JDM is fender mirrors, super wide rims with skinny tyres stretched onto them, a car lowered to the weeds so it is useless on the road and defect material, etc. Really Bozo is the correct term. Google "Bozo style".

 

It is a bit like "granny spec", which really is an overdone version of what a granny would drive. ie, whitewalls, slammed, venetions, sunvisor, etc.

 

It is a LOOK, or a Style.

Not exactly JDM but bosozuku.

JDM doesn't necessarily equate to pimp-ed up rides, often the look that a lot of people call "JDM" is actually what they Japanese refer to as Yankee or Bosozuko style. JDM can simply be a car or parts which were sold in the Japanese market and not in other parts of the world - ie all those grey import Levins and Stageas and Skylines etc are technically JDM even if they are bone stock, and they definitely don't look like the above pictures.

Sorry was a joke, that's why I said it was a stock car, implying all Japanese cars are Bosozoku.

Ha I actually thought you meant racing stock not factory.

[Bamboo]

LMAO.....bosozoku is japanese slang for hoon!

essentially JDM is the most overused annoying term describing the style of cars that people go for. wheels that don't fit, bent guards to try make them fit, tyres that don't fit on said wheels to try and make said wheels fit...etc

 

though in reality as stated it just stands for japenese domestic market, so calling a car "JDM" is saying that "that car was sold in japan"...which it prolly was, in a much cooler form!

 

btw isnt that black ke70 wagon from america? its left hand drive. either way it looks rediculous...

 

on the other hand, jap cars are just so damn pretty.....

I hate how it gets thrown around too, My AE71 was ADM but I spent the time and money to convert the engine to a brand new JDM setup, It was the only thing I used as JDM but you see shitbox ADM sprinters with big wheels and a dodgy engine conversion and it's JDM.
