Question What mods would you get if you had a hookup in Japan????

I was just talking to my brother-in-law who just happens to be stationed in Japan with the Air Force. What would be the best mods to get over there that you could not get here??? He is supposed to be checking out some places that some buddies of his have gotten some mods for their cars. Any info. would be helpful!!

As I always say, Value TL body kit with the fogs to go with it. Just my thoughts.

Remember folks the Value kit is expensive. Paid $1755 for the 3 pc kit with headlight eyelids. Plus you have to pay for shipping and painting also!!!!!!

Hum... the best mod is to bring an Evo VII back, or the GT-R will do. Oh, do you guys know that they even have the Audi RS4, Lotus 340...etc on sale very there NOW!!!

But seriously, I would get those cameras at front & back... That would be cool...

OK, first I'll take an R32 Skyline GTS, it doesn't look too aggresive, nice daily driver, only 1 turbo....2.5 litre.

Then I'll have a R32 Skyline GTR, that will be one of my toys.

Oh, and if there's room in the suitcase, throw in an R34 Sklyine GTR vSpec plz

I'd get SKP Dezign's Skipper underbody kit for the Inspire, around $2500 unpainted. Also needs to be custom fitted to the TL's bumper.



Has round cut-outs for exhaust too!

Aguzze S-07R's.

$600 a wheel

14.2 lbs for 17x7s"

Lighter than any wheel you can get here in the states.

(yes lighter than everyone's beloved te-37's)

HAHA too bad they're not lighter than the new SSR Type Cs (called competitions in japan). They're 375 per rim in 17x7.5 and weigh less. Only 13.7lbs per rim.
