even if you have some ugly 20s and TVs in every place imaginable, thats JDM American. take it as you will.

i wish people would start doing their own style more than what some trend is or what a specific style says you should have.

actually JDM america is what Japanese people think Americans style thier cars like. Which in thier eyes would be a old 50 60 style car with pinstripes chevy grill moonies and stuff like that....

not necessarily. theyre not all made to look like 50 60s rods.

example:
none look 50ish really.

That'as just it. It's when people claim something is played out. Why does anything have to be played out? If that was the case, we should be VIPing Pontiac Montana's then. Those aren't played out yet. I mean, if soemthing gets played out, where you gonna go next? Stop worrying about what is played out and do your OWN thing. Things being played, is played out. how about that?

Played out or not, JDM is far from new.

Going along with "doing your own thing," some people should stop worrying so much about applying a particular theme (be it JDM or otherwise) to their car. That is how you get people who only do this or that mod because it's what's trendy at a given time.

You're mixing up words. 99% of cars on SL wanting that look are JDM "style"...not JDM. There's only a handfull of people with a JDM xB and it doesn't count if you have JDM mirrors, 15" american wheels with deep dish looking like they're JDM wheels, or any measely number of parts. You can rock only WORK wheels and that won't mean d*ck cuz you're stil still STOCK.
