What's so special about this type of store? How is it different from a Walmart?

look at the pictures from the link that was posted. it looks like this super autobacs will be quite similar to the ones that i've been to in japan. it's just a big store that sells aftermarket car parts including little accessories, strut bars, coilovers, exhaust systems, wheels and lots more...

Well I decided to drive by Super Autobacs today. That location used to be an Edwards Cinema so you can kinda visualize the size of it. Looks awesome

GS4fun: Yea what howie said, full of aftermarket and JDM parts like you see in Japan. Wonder what the prices are gonna be like

For those of you that will say the same thing stuff is over priced. Thats how expensive the stuff is over here and then add the cost of shipping to U.S. . At least you all have a place to get the stuff you want instead of looking for a hook-up now.

I have looked up many of stuff for CL members and they all say the same thing "Cost To Much".

Lexus is not a cheap car to begin with and why put cheap stuff on you car. The quality of most of the stuff from Japan is top of the line.

If any of you thought the stuff was going to cost less then what they sell the stuff for here your mistaken.
