So JDM what?

I know that there are a great number of fellas out there that worship the JDM gods and will spend $700 on a JDM oil cap and I really don't mean to offend any of you here. To each his own.

I just wanted to find out if there are a bunch of folks out there like me or if I'm all alone.

Even when the pricing isn't absurd and the product in question looks/performs great I find myself turning away from anything that is advertised using that specific acronym.

So far everything I've purchased and that I plan to purchase is designed and built right here in the US. I'm not going out of my way to try and stay within the US....if the performance matches the hype when we finally see some info I bet I'll have an Aussie S/C in my car before too long.

I just feel like trying to shop for the best performance/quality/value/customer service I end up steering clear of everything JDM without any conscious effort to do so.

I think the customer service piece is key. Being able to contact companies like Perrin and Namless for support on their high quality parts or with questions while determining a purchase is something that the JDM gods just can't offer me.
