Warning, this is a rant.
Is it just me, or has the JDM culture gotten a bit ridiculous. I am all for people loving their cars and I appreciate all different automotive cultures, but has JDM become the new "ricer"? It's kind of funny because JDM folks hate ricers with a passion, yet most of the mods they do to their cars are purely cosmetic. ex. Putting racing bucket seats with harnesses in a Honda with about as much power as my lawn mower, quick release steering wheels, and even hindering /handling performance with stupid amounts of negative camber as well as adding tow hooks (when most of them never track their cars. Auto X doesn't count as tracking) Not to mention what's with their language? "That's tyt bro, that's clean bro, that's JDM ballin bro..." I remember JDM used to be about converting USDM cars to JDM spec, nothing more. But now, it has just become a competition to see who can put as many brand name JDM aftermarket on their cars. Lastly, what is with all the dumb JDM stickers and dolls they stick on their vehicles.
