Question Going to Japan with an empty suitcase

I am going to Japan at the end of June for 3 days. I plan to buy a cheap suit case and bring back a few EVO related goodies. Here is the deal, what ever I get has to fit in the suit case and cant weigh more than 70 lbs. Japan is only going to be a stop over so I cant get any hoods or bumpers that will be to big. Right now Im leaning towards a set of MR head/tail lights. Anybody have any other suggestions?????

h11 foglight bulbs yellow or white (not readily available here yet). Any neat interior pieces if you're into that. lights, cigarette lighters, whatever. Last time I was there I got this fluid you spray on the OUTside side mirrors that keep them somewhat clear when it rains. kinda the opposite of rain-x. prevents beading. They have some more choices (and more $$$) for wiper blade refills that you couldnt get here. Some of them are now starting to show up (PIAAs for example). The in-dash stereo stuff is crazy too but the language thing might be a problem. HKS cams that seem to be on backorder here, tho they weight a bit (metal)? cell phone holders (but their standard cell phone is too damn small)? Any Ralliart items (mud flaps, clothing, shifter, whatever). JDM antennas?

And just for the hell of it, make sure you take a trip to Shinjuku (Tokyo)!! Eat some FUGU, ride the shinkansen. Buy a ceramic kitchen knife for your mom or GF for $25 from a 100Yen store. Get some MUJI boxers OR briefs (so damn soft next to my ...). Have a $20 coffee in the Park Hyatt. A really nice electric shaver from National (Panasonic). You can get Hyper Rev in the States for an Ok price. Bring back some real green tea. And seriously, take a bath in a bath house. Just wash first. And dont drop the towel in the water. For hot rich chicks walk around Ginza.

MR gauge cluster,gauges,jdm emblems, and also, you will find alot of different very hard to find interior/exterior accesories that you have'nt seen here in the us, so save your money on that, trust me. i suggest not to buy stuffs that they sell here in u.s. even if its jdm.
