Sell your car and buy one from Japan for more than its worth to have it shipped and registered...

Better yet, buy a Civic. They're JDM TYTE!!! Plus all the cool kids are doing it.

That would me more work than what its worth. Join the military, Navy..., get stationed in japan, and pick up a sil or 180 for about 3k and call it a day.

I think the best way for you to accomplish this is to be a Japanese person, who was born in Japan.

This is generally the easiest/most accepted route to becoming "JDM".

In your case though, I'd say you're pretty much fecked.

I'll try to say something helpful cause no one else is.First, forget the 'JDM' title. Just because they say it on TV and in the magazines doesnt make it automatically cool.Find some pics of a JDM (damn, I said it) Silvia or 180sx. Then decide what you like about the car. Then come back and ask 'how do I get those headlights on my car?' or 'where can I buy one of those SR20 engines?'Those questions actually have answers...

I'ma stick with USDM. Besides, the damn car is built in Japan and/or contains mainly Japanese parts, so its pretty much frickin JDM. So you don't have power folding mirrors or digital HVAC, or an SR. You're gonna spend more money on making your car "JDM" than on anything else. Short answer... get a damn SR if you're gonna be JDM TYYTEE, it's the only "JDM" piece that's actually worth a damn. And just to confuse you further, the KA is "JDM" as in, built in Japan, by a Japanese company, and installed and shipped from Japan.
