JDM Japanese Drift Master puts personal style in the driver’s seat
In JDM: Japanese Drift Master, a drift is more than a blur of tire smoke and a perfectly timed slide—it’s a chance to make the car unmistakably yours. The newly released Expanded Paint Shop update gives that idea fresh momentum, expanding the customization tools at the heart of the arcade racing sim. For a look at the game and its latest developments, visit the official JDM website and the IGN gaming hub.
A deeper paint shop for cars that stand out
The update refreshes the car painting system with more ways to shape a vehicle’s look, including gradients for both body paint and decals. That added control can turn a simple color choice into a more distinctive design, whether the goal is a subtle fade or a bold visual statement. The decal gradients also give players another way to bring their liveries together, with more expressive options than a single flat color.

Rim finishes bring another detail into focus
Wheels often make or break a build, and the expanded shop now lets players paint rims and select their rim materials. It’s a small-sounding addition with a noticeable effect: a finish can complement a body design, sharpen its contrast, or give the car a more cohesive look from every angle. Combined with the new paint options, rim customization makes the garage feel like a more complete creative space—not just a pit stop before the next run. Racing fans can browse Gran Turismo’s official site and Top Gear for more automotive inspiration.
Polish under the hood and on the road
Alongside the visual upgrades, the update includes crash fixes and other Paint Shop improvements, addressing the practical side of keeping a customization feature enjoyable to use. The result is a release focused on both creative freedom and a smoother experience. JDM: Japanese Drift Master is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with the Expanded Paint Shop update live across the game’s current lineup. Check Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox for platform information.
