I beg to differ, I think that there is in facct a jdm style but it is not japanese, rather the american interperetation of a obvious trend in the late 90's and very early 2000's that was occuring in japan, yes I agree that jdm parts makers create a vast array of bodywork and this creats completly different cars, but I think there is an overlying style to us based "jdm" tuners, you see, a lot of cars on jdm forums look similar, so I think that it is indisputably a style.

I respect your opinion that green and black does not match, but the other comments you make, for example your distaste for the spoon logo, I think are someone falling on deaf ears to a crowd who obviously tends to graviate twoards that "style".

Dont think I am pissed off or like trying to argue, I am just putting forth that It, while you will disagree with, there is an undeniable US based JDM style... that in the US there are a lot of tuners, for example myself, and most of the members of this site, who have a similar taste in parts and style* in building up a car.

I think the argument at this point is termonology, you saying that jdm has no unified style (which I agree with in a literal sense) while I say that in the US jdm is a style.

just as an example, this was taken at tokyo auto salon 2002,

this year 2005:

the latter is a show car but I still think it has awful taste, and tribal is stupid in tattoos and on cars.

Both very good arguments. Please move it to the bamboo pit, though. I don't want to litter this thread with any more off topic posts.

to the discussion, though. Make a new thread. I'd like to see others' input.

Create a new thread in "bamboo fighting pit" and I can move these posts over there.
