Importing Parts
 

Does anyone where how I would begin to import parts from Japan or Europe. Such as head lights, TRD seats, etc
I heard there's places that specialize in importing parts. If so where are these located in soCal. Or do I have to coordinate something with someone over seas to have it sent here

Too lazy to search if a post like this exist but any info is helpful :thumbup:

http://japanparts.com/ can get them for you.

Sent em an email so we shall see. Ever order from them?

My brother has ordered from them plenty of times.

We need to get a group buy on some frameless rearview mirrors, clear front sidemarkers, and toyota badges :)

right with you aside from the toyota badges :happy0180:

They're already selling all the stuff over there right? Makes me just wanna fly down there and bring it all back

frameless mirror is a ill-legal but f*%k itttttt :drool:

No love for the headlights tho we would need to get euro spec ones for them to work with our lhd Cars

you could also try http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com/


bought a lot of parts from them straight from japan...even if its OEM parts..

Even though I'm a starving college student, I'd be down for that GB. Would love a frameless rearview mirror and those side markers. Why does the US use tacky amber color anyway? Don't they know it's ugly?

Just emailed em to see when they would have parts available :thanks:

Nice. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

I'm down for a group buy for the headlights, ( if fogs are not avail) fogs too

:D

Ok so got emails back from both place

bulletproof said they are getting parts but do not have an exact list of parts along with pricing but they said they would contacting me once they can get some

japanparts had me email them pictures of the parts wanted

You're pioneering new fronts for everyone sir. We do appreciate it.

This +1. Along with a possible NUR spec package too? :thumbup:

Got an email back from japanparts that the will indeed be getting parts as well and will contact me when they do :thumbup:

+1 on the group buy

Ill take headlights, Toyota badges and rear view mirror :w00t:

Question to everyone, how much are you willing to pay?

Whats so special about this rear view mirror? Pics anyone? :iono:

Hmm I rather stick with a Broadway wide lens mirror at that point. Much cheaper and gets the same job done. It being JDM and all that part can't be cheap. I rather spend it on other parts just my 2 cents of course.

I agree :)

Just want to throw our name in that hat as well, weve already been posting in your vendors forums for the TRD Japan parts, OEM japan parts as well. The badges we already have coming and will be posting up soon. The clear markers were getting ready to post up as well.

As for any other, kits or anything really, please feel free to pm me. Post or send any links or some pics and I can get you a price eta and shipping cost

For everything he listed? The mirror, side markers and emblems?

That quote is just for the rear view mirror.

I can totally vouch for luis at carson. He got me my emblems and center caps and is a real stand up guy

Sorry, just noticed that. Its for the mirror. So many members have been asking about this item, so we were finally able to get al the info on it.

I've been doing this for awhile now, and feel I have something to contribute to the community if I can bring in parts for cheaper than the current quotes. This would also include access to parts not otherwise available through formal channels and Group Buys.

Several questions:

How do I become a vendor if and when necessary?
When would I need to become a vendor? and
Where in on this forum do the rules distinguish the difference between feeling/interest etc and sales threads, and is this acceptable as a basic member? <for the above implied questions/info>

Thanks for any and all helpful information in advance.
