I am here to explain what is considered JDM (no hate)
These are common misconceptions about what is considered JDM
JDM -Japanese domestic market
1) if a Japanese car has the steering wheel on the left side it’s not JDM, But that does not mean the car can’t ‘ve JDM style mods. But the car itself is considered a USDM model
2)

Neons are still a thing in japan, and the train handles
That is true
there is the other logo that means senior ? no? http://www.247skins.com/images/products/large_100_koleshiya_elder_driver_badge_4_inch_long_sticker_decal_jdm_vinyl_illest_flush_race.jpg
I think the leaf sticker is supposed to kind of be sarcastic. Like, "oh I’m just a noob don’t mind me" braaappapapapapap apapa anti-lag pop pop KTHXBAI
There is another one, which is a yellow and orange droplet, which means you are a skilled driver.
It has nothing to do with sarcasm. You can have a 1000hp 8sec car and still be a noob. Plus in Japan people don’t feel the need to be cynical or play it defensive when it comes to their skills, they’ll just humbly accept what they are, no matter how skilled they are. They don’t feel the need to brag about it either, that’s why the most commonly seen sticker is the "newbie" leaf and not the "skilled" droplet, even though there are likely a lot more skilled drivers than newbies.
BMW made special Japan Model cars only for sale in Japan with LHD steering those cars are JDM so explain how a LHD car cant be JDM ?
There were LHD cars produced for only the Japanese Domestic market eg: Lancia Delta Integrale Final Edition Evo 2. Surely this is a LHD JDM car.
