Wassup CL! Been reading around on the forum for a several months now but have now decided to make an account. I am new to modding and my car is basically stock besides an HID kit (if you even consider that one). I own a 2007 IS250 as well as a 2005 G35

My job will have me travel to Toykyo Japan soon and I will be staying there for an a couple months. My question to you guys is: are there any parts worth getting and bringing back home? Or are basically all parts able to be bought online and shipped? Like I said I'm new to modding, I'm open to anything really.

Thanks guys!

You might be able to get projector fog lights cheaper from over there. If you want a rear fog light, you can also get the replacement lens there too.

Buy the JDM Window Visors.

It should be cheaper in Japan. Brand new is going for $400 in the US

Get the JDM led fog lights. They're so rare I've only seen 2 people on the forum with them ever.

If you have the $ to spend, try to get some SARD parts! (exhaust system, body kits)... they sound / look amazing. (super expensive tho).
I dont really care for their front bumper.

A shortcut to convert japanese yen to USD is to take away the two zeros. So those coilovers being sold for 79000 are ~$790 usd (prob closer to $700 given current exchange rate). I've seen some crazy bargains at this place for wheels (e.g. complete set of work wheels for $900, etc)

Darn that is good to hear. I guess you must have been to Japan several times, haven't you? Do you see a lot of pro drifters, street racers in Japan like they portrait in Fast and Furious movies or is it just made up in the movie??
