lol, okay so maybe im thinking about this too much, but recently i've been thinking we think that JDM side markets/corners look better, probably because they are more exotic to us and we dont see them as often, or maybe just because in our opinion they look better... but in Japan do you think that they swap out their jdm side markers etc for our USDM ones?

thanks
just a little too curious and bored at work :-/

 

How 'bout it. JDM this, JDM that. USDM. and is there a EDM? Authentic JDM, very rare, hard to find, blah,blah,blah.

Homie I'm with ya'.

 

For what it's worth, while visiting Japan a few years ago, one owner brought over the orage headlight units for a Japanese owner who really wanted them.

 

grass is always greener...

 

i think its true. usdm is cool in japan.

 

you guys think they are doing 04' USDM engine swaps?

 

I think the Japanese love us. Sure they want to be like us and all the while we really want to be like them (well the JDM whores do anyway). So in actuality, they really want to be like themselves. Weird huh?

Honestly though, I think they do like the USDM. Hence all those stupid american sounding names they come up with for their products.

Where in the world did those Japanese tuners come up with those stupid american sounding names anyway? I mean really, Spoon?? Backyard Special?? Those sound like cookware companies and not performance JDM companies.

Also..how about Buddy Club and Feels??? How queer is that? Sounds like a bunch of guys that room together and make passes at each other.

Of course Garage Defender sounds like one of those parking assistants that guys get their wives instead of an aero kit company.

We need some more manly aggresive JAPANESE sounding names. Of course, I'm sure they're a hit in Japan.

Oh, and off the topic a bit, I wonder if they get tattoos of american words on themselves like people get Japanese symbols and letters on themselves here.

 

 

I've seen pictures of Japanese girls wearing t-shirts with random American words on them. Including things one normally doesn't say in "polite society." Can't say if they were staged or not, but the possibility exists it was legit.
