1. Short for "Japanese Domestic Market." This term often means paying your left testicle for a part that you could otherwise order from kragen.
The term JDM has long been used to "one-up" a friend or acquaintance at Krispy Kreme car meets and the likes. By adding a JDM item to your "ride" you are instantly "cooler" than your friend's USDM counterpart.

Stands for Japanese Domestic Market. It is for car parts. Main compaines are Honda, and Nissan. The reason for JDM is because many import cars such as Civics and Integras have been "detuned" to meet regulations in the United States. Therefore swaping a Japanese engine into an "American" Honda Civic is considered intergration to its truest form.
Many difference that many people don't know is it is seperate from the ricer street racing scene. Many races are on profession tracks. Which many enthusist race in Time Attack. JDM compared to ricers are much cleaner in their styling.
