Being a big fan of japanese cars and culture, I thinks it funny that people think that a car is "JDM" just because its "clean", or wheel color. But thats just part of the japanese style is simplicity and functionality, and at times bold.
There are a handfull of neons that were posted that definately had some JDM flava. But like many have said there is nothing JDM about our cars but its cool to see how we can incorporate other styles.
And that White SRT on the first page with blue wheels was Kewl!

Here is the jist about Domo pulled from the Wiki...
Domo is the mascot of Japan's NHK television station, appearing in several 30 second stop-motion sketches shown as station identification during shows.
The name "Domo" was acquired during the second episode of his show in which a TV announcer said, "dōmo, konnichiwa" which is a greeting meaning something along the lines of, "Well, hello there!", but which can also be interpreted as "Hello, Domo!", and thus is a convenient pun (dajare). The kun suffix on "Domo-kun," the name used to describe the character in the Japanese versions, is a Japanese honorific often used with young males.
Domo, the main character, is described as "a strange creature that hatched from an egg," with a large, sawtoothed mouth that is locked wide open. Domo's favorite food is Japanese-style meat and potato stew, and he has a strong dislike for apples, because of an unexplained mystery in his DNA. Domo can only communicate via producing a low-pitched noise which sounds somewhat like his own name, but other characters appear to understand him. Domo is known to pass gas repeatedly when nervous or upset. A Tokyopop press release of the Domo comic book states that "he communicates sotto voce with a verve that only his friends can understand." Clint Bickham, the writer of the Domo comic book, said that to him Domo's expression is "a sort of cheery wonderment. Like when a kid wakes to a room full of presents on Christmas day." While Domo's face has variants, to Bickham most of his expressions have "an underlying sense of fascination."
Domo lives in an underground cave with Mr. Usaji, known in Japanese-language versions as Usajii, a portmanteau of the words usagi (rabbit), and jii (old man, grandpa). Mr. Usaji is a wise old rabbit who has lived in a cave for decades, loves to watch television and drink astringent green tea. Mr. Usaji is not into any "new" materials, and does not own a telephone. In terms of fashion, Mr. Usaji focuses on materials instead of shapes. Mr. Usaji's favorite food is carrots, and his least favorite food is "something that is meaningless."
Also in the cave live two bats, a mother named Maya (Shinobu in the Japanese version) and her child Mario (Morio) in the Japanese version). Maya suffers from alcoholism; her favorite foods are seasonal while her least favorite food is alcohol. Mario's favorite food is Japanese-style tomato spaghetti, while his least favorite food is shiitake mushrooms.
The other main character in the shorts is a weasel girl named Tashanna (Tā-chan (in the Japanese version). Tashanna, 17 years old, is a weasel who aspires to be a fashion stylist or model in Tokyo and is always using technology (televisions, mobile phones, and cameras). In English Tashanna has a "weaselly accent" (itachi namari) and ends her sentences with "y"s. In the Japanese version, she ends her sentences with "chi". She has not had a boyfriend in ten years and she is seeking a platonic boyfriend. She has a passion for bidding in auctions, but she gives up by the end. Tashanna's favorite food is apricot and mint tarts, and her least favorite food is sea urchin. The Japanese name originates from the word "multichannel" (tachanneru) of digital broadcasting.
Bear Boy (Kogumagorō), also known as A Little Bear (Kuma no ko, literally "A bear cub"), is one of Domo's friends from the neighborhood; the timid cub enjoys playing baseball.
Hee (Flower One (Hanaichi) and Haw (Flower Two (Hanaji) are pixie twins from a flower. Domo is the only individual who can see them.
The Fox Trio consists of Esther (Esuko), Brother Fox (Aniki-chi), and Fox Boy (Konjirō). Esther, the youngest member, enjoys producing crocodile tears, plotting schemes, and causing havoc. Brother Fox, the eldest member, dutifully cares for his youngest siblings and feels upset when referred to as "short-legged" (tansoku?). Fox Boy, having a quiet demeanor, converses with Domo and Bear Boy and prefers to read.
Hungry Bear (Harapekoguma), a large and powerful bear, feels too hungry to take advantage of his strength.

If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

That SRT would be way cleaner if it had better fitment. Looks too low for a stock (ish) offset setup.
