More USJDM
If you are not familiar with it, I made a post about USJDM Style last summer . This past weekend was the 2008 USDM Jam held out in Mie Prefecutre, which is the biggest gathering of USJDM style cars in Japan.
While a lot of the cars look exactly like the fixed up Honda's in the US (that's what the owners are trying to do), some also manage to bring some unique styling features. While looking through some photos from this year's event, I found some pretty cool cars. The wheel choices in particular are worth a look.
Hiro's DC2 on SSR Formula Mesh (not the replicas that are all over the place in the USA now).
EF Civic sedan with ATS Cup wheels, a popular wheel among VW enthusiasts.
Another EF, this one with rare TE37 Cup wheels.
A Civic coupe with a 5-lug conversion and polished R32 Skyline GT-R wheels. It looks so cool.
There should be more photos on the official USDM Jam site soon.
Do you have photos of the other EF sedans in the background?

It's not USDM unless they have McDonalds scattered around in the back seat. Where's the shotgun racks and the his and hers Nascar jackets in PLUS sizes?

Wow, this is neat. I had found the website before and was a little confused to say the least, because it was .com rather than .jp and featured stretched bikes and lifted trucks, I figured it was some sort of hillbilly joke 0_o

there's also oldschool non-jdm japanese car style in japan
owners of these cars seem to mingle with the regular nostalgic olds at their meets
big-bumpered wagons with imitation veneer, shaved fender mirrors, and datsun emblems, etc.
