What is this JDM and VIP everyone is speaking of?

Okay, I will admit that while I have had my box for two years I haven't had much interest in doing anything to it until just recently.

I have been reading some posts that mention the very mysterious "JDM" and "VIP". I am curious as to what these are (stlye, specific shop, et cetera). Any clarification is appreciated.

well jdm mean Japanese Domestic Market. so basically actually from japan meant for the japanese version of a said car.
VIP is a special offshoot kind of tuning normally involving , large wheels , slammed to the ground , two tone paints , wide wheels with crazy offsets , camber and an overall clean appearance. involving smooth simple low bodykits.

yeah that is sort of true, but the real JDM is still fairly underground and hard to access even though many people think that their rides are JDM esque most arent close

My visors are from a bB so I guess those are JDM, as is my Toyota Japan Sports Lid, and Cusco and DiPark camber plates. Oh, and my bB foglights also. Not too mention my bB door lock caps, and lighted ignition ring.

And yes, the bB sushiboy posted is one of my favorite bBs also!

i think i like it more because its a JDM style...

its clean and precise with some subtle features. same with Squirrels. i think its fairly JDM just because its clean with a lot of subtle touches i dont notice automatically. its more of a style i think than anything. off topic, but what body kit do you have Cassidy?

the true actual JDM/VIPers are Matt (Opr8r) and Hahajoey. no diss on Brad and Cassidy though, they have very sweet rides
