You'll be able to get the BBS wheels through your local Evo dealer soon. Not cheap though, $834 per wheel! Check out the Future Evo Models forum.

Kurichan, it seems like people are in an uproar that we won't be getting the JDM seats on the MR. I'm sure alot of people would want those!
I wouldn't mind AYC either...

If you could get the parts here in a timely manner and have good customer service I would order parts through you. Price is important but, If i could pay $50 more and have it here in three weeks instead of three months it would be worth it to me.

I think if someone were to open a jdm parts business it would take off if the prices were right. I have been able to find most of the parts Im looking for, but the prices are way to high. If someone were to sell jdm parts cheaper word would get around, and that business would take off.......

you guys have to consider that JDM products are and always will be expensive because the yen is so much stronger than the dollar. Don't count on huge discounts because of this and the price of five day shipping is INSANE from there. 18lbs=$200 shipping

is that why $1 equals 110 yen?

or

one yen equals $0.00909448

things are expensive becasue of supply and demand.. theres a large demand and not enough supply... Take $5,000 US dollars and see how much stuff you can but in japan with it. A set of R34 wheels are like under a grand.... Exporting costs and shipping is the major problem with prices, aside from the fact people can charge what they want beacsue not many other people can get them the products.

That's just the nomenclature, it's just one decal. Thank you for looking into it.

Guys - thanks so much for the positive feedback. The reaction's been pretty positive, so the Japan side laying some of the groundwork to get things going. We can't take real orders yet, and and at first we might not be able to help everyone, but please keep the requests coming so we can get a handle on what people want.

Thanks again!

I'm looking for Mine's and JUN products but it seems that the few vendors that sell these parts either don't have all of them or sell them at ridiculously high prices. I understand that these are pretty high end parts, but I don't understand why they have to be sold at such high prices and have such limited availability. If you sold those parts I would probably be your first customer.

If you are going to sell stuff here, you might want to talk to Mark about getting vendor status.

Just a suggestion...

Ionno whats all the buzz about jdm parts, i mean they are better stock for stock and it is cool to have "JDM" Evo, but its just too damn expensive. I'd rather spend my money on the American aftermarket. Better performance for the same dollar value.
