Default Parts from Japan

I would like to order some original parts from Japan for my RX which are not commercially sold here like:

Side Mirrors with Indicators
Coin Box

Anybody had any luck brining them in stateside?

Thanks,

Just be aware of the following:

1) Product literature + instructions will be in Japanese.

2) You will have an issue with Foreign currency. Credit card makes it less painful.

3) The seller/buyer has to arrange for pickup-freight-custom_clearance and then ship to you door.

4) Install issues and lack of help. [you are on your own at this time]

5) Street legal. Some products may not be approved [They may meet or exceed standards but are considered street illegal] ... the coin holder most probably may not matter but then is it built with fire-retardant material or not

Item 3 can be one agency like DHL, else you have to arrange for preferably bonded, but for sure clearing agent (which charges you and acts as an agent to get it through customs). Typically there are warehouse use fee per day on top.)


Good luck.

I got a coin holder when I purchased my 08 RX350 back in Feb. Is there another type of coin holder ? My RX was made in Japan.

It may be made from Japan but theres always nicer parts for Domestic Japan vehicle only. Thus Japanese Domestic Market.
