I'm on Vacation in Japan!
Just got into Japan about two days ago and I am staying here for a about 4 weeks. Planning on buying some car parts for my Civic as I know someone who deals in the used car parts business here.
Has anyone had any prior experience exporting stuff from here? Not sure if it will be worth it at all to ship larger items like front bumpers or lips. Might just stick with smaller things (steering wheels, exhausts, shift ****)
Anyway plan on seeing some pics up sometime, cause there are so many Hondas here I've never seen in my life! not to mention how amazing JDM's here look

definitely pay a visit to a honda dealership... i went in one when i was there. kinda funny that they are all green, where here they are all red... anyway, i went into one there and they gave me so much stuff to go home with it wasn't funny. i got a t-shirt, brochures for every model car, a dvd on the integra type r, even a little asimo doll for my daughter. they are very hopititable, if someone doesn't speak english, they will find someone who does that can help you. i'd love to go back some day. what amazed me the most was how clean everything was. you don't see litter anywhere on the ground like you do here. they have a great deal of respect for each other and the environment.

. It's hard though because a lot of the cars here look like our cars back at home with different names of course. I see a ton of Honda Fits here. I should go in there and see what prices are like. I am guessing they are crazy expensive. Stuff here is not that cheap

I have no idea what OPPAI is but I'll do it for a little while until I get punched in the face haha

I've seen two Type R Intergras and one Type R Civic (Newer One) it's hard though because all the sweet *** cars are usually in motion! THey love their coupes here and all the Hondas seem to have AWD .. its so unfair 
By the way Kuruption I said OPPAI and this girl flashed me and yelled out KAWAIIIII so I have no idea what that word means. I also learned the word MANKO! HAHA
