JDM is not what you saw in the movie Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift. Ironically, the styling in that movie was influence by “Hollywood”. JDM is not about all that. It is not a flamboyant mix of body kits, large chrome rims, neon lights and ultra lowered cambered wheels . Instead, JDM styling is subtle and sophisticated. Its emphasis are on keeping the car period correct, be it with modifications or without. Modifications should be largely based on the original styling of the car. -Lord Seno

In short, not one car is JDM in the JDM fest... all because, they are not left-hand drive and designed for the Japanese market (basing from the article).
But seriously, I've been one of the persons that was influenced with the American car culture back then ("Fast and Furious") with all the neon lighting, chrome rims, spoilers on fwd vehicles and what not.. but as I grew more mature, I slowly understood how we have been "disrespecting" our cars with all those so called "upgrades" or as other people call it "rice points".
Currently, I am more tuned into keeping my car tidy (no spoilers, flashy bumpers or anything that serves no real purpose in terms of performance) and looking original as the first day it rolled out from the factory. If I do get upgrades or modifications, I made sure it has a real purpose into it (lighter wheels, better brakes, etc.) and not basically for "rice points". So far, from what I can see... most people back home (Cebu) still do have the F&F culture with them, hopefully this will change in due time.
