KDM versus American

Since everyone in America tries to make their cars KDM (or JDM if you own a Honda), do people who live in Korea and Japan try to make their cars ADM (American Domestic Market)?

Interesting idea, but how would you suspect they do that? Making them more difficult to drive in the twisties, or heavier and more plain on the interior?

In order to make their cars ADM, they would have to BUY an american car first.

Actually, it is a thing. I've heard that monster stickers and orange corner markers are popular in Korea and Japan.

Heh, I put USDM rear side markers in my AUDM korean car. What now?
