I like JDM part...only because our car is originally from Japan. Since, Japanese made them, I think they know best about our cars(240sx....other nissan infinitity car....etc). That's why I buy JDM parts. If I own an American car, I dont think I will be a fan of JDM part. I dont see any of my friends who own mustang use JDM parts like us do. But my case is mostly performance parts tho. Also, the truth is most JDM performance parts are better quality over USDM parts...at least for our Japanese made cars. Another reason, look at our truck ka engine. Why do you think every one is trying to get JDM sr engine to swap over it? so they can get red or black cover on it? Nah...it is the original engine for the car and has better performance. I dont think ppl will try to get sr engine, if our ka engine was as good as sr.... Simply, I think ppl are trying to make the car as it should be or what it is suppose to be. Forget about the accessary stuff. JDM performance parts has been always proved by many mechanics and technitions. Also, it is not everyone use JDM only. I go for whatever the part is best in each brand or company in their catagory. For exmaple, I have APEXi Catback but I have B&M short shifter because they are the one of the best in their catagory. I do agree that JDM part are way more expensive than USDM parts. But the one of reason why ppl are trying to get the JDM parts are sometimes they are one of kind!! Like the kouki taillights for 180sx or 240sx FB. No one else makes them and it is one beautiful piece. I would love to get one too even tho it is mad expensive. When this happens, you have no choice, if you want it, you have to pay whatever they want.Basically, my opinion is there is reasons why ppl buy JDM stuff and you can't just over look at them like some JDM addicts....also one more thing, not everything becomes trend, I think trend only works when it has some sort of quality or good thing about it other wise, ppl won't go for it...especially when hell lot of money involves.....this question sounds like asking," why do u buy Japanese cars over American cars?" to me.....they are everywhere in U.S. Ask this question to any American who owns Japanese cars and listen what they say. Period!!
