Default Scion tC does NOT! = JDM!!!!!!!

Its been bugging me for a while now... that some of the tC owners out there think that they can modify their tC's into JDM! Yeah you can add some JDM parts from companies on to it... But the tC is in fact not a Japanese Domestic Market Vehicle... Its built in Japan for the US! But NOT DISTRIBUTED IN JAPAN... so to clarify JDM means the car is also sold in Japan! But I kind of admire peoples trials and tribulations to create their idea of a JDM tC but for the record its not JDM so don't call it JDM! You can only actually consider it either an Import or USDM! I know I'm sounding like a Di*k but I just feel better clarifying it to everyone encase there were any cases of mistaken Identity! So thanks for listening!

I was just saying that stock is how they're made in Japan and its the closest you could possibly come to a JDM tC, even though its not technically part of their domestic market. The more you mod your tC no matter what you do your only distancing yourself from a "Japanese tC"

Eh its everyones inspiration to be JDM in the US and believe it or not, in Japan its very popular among the Civic owners (for ex) to go USDM. Its kinda weird in a way....

If i was to go back to japan, and take my tC with me, i guarantee you someone would buy it for an incredibly unreasonalbe amount of money, because its American and can not be had in Japan. Some of them have money to throw around like that.

oh and also, not to be a further dick... but the title it says does not! = jdm, and since everyone that has any snippet of programming experience will tell you != means does not equal, so your title is technically saying Scion tC does NOT not equal JDM!!!!!!! which is the same as saying the Scion tC is JDM and you are therefore contradicting your title with your post, so I cant trust anything you say.

I had someone offer me £12,000 for my tC here in England. The only reason I didn't take up the offer, beside not being able to get another tC was because I would be just breaking even on the cost of it plus the "importing fees" and taxes on the vehicle.
