Small parts I should consider getting from Japan?
 

So my buddy is picking up some tail lights for me and he said that if I needed any small items like trim pieces or shift knobs I should let him know to take advantage of box size and shipping costs.


If you guys had the opportunity what would you get? Stuff that's either cheaper in Japan or hard to find stateside.



Thinking of black steering wheel and shifter trim but drawing blanks on anything else.

Possibly JDM side marker lights

Get a Japanese license plate or something. This car doesn't have anything very cool that's small and Japan specific in my opinion.

The black traction control buttons? Even though you can order them state-side (I have them and love them)

I would, except I'm already running light smoke clears :(




Yeah, left that out by mistake. Including the traction control stuff as well, would look kinda weird leaving that part silver. Maybe I'll see if he could find some cheap duracon/delrin shift knobs at upgarage or something so I don't have to burn my hands on hot days anymore lol.

Red Door Courtesy Lamps. The JDM parts look just like the clear BRZ parts, but are red. I got a pair from Japan earlier this year together with the harness connectors to add red lamps to my FR-S. SU003-03290 - got them from amayama.com.

Workshop stickers for your tool boxes.

Workshop t-shirts.

Workshop overalls.

Uncommon oil caps like Revolution or TOM'S? STI/ GR Emblems? Grazio&Co dress up parts? I'm sure you could slip in a GR front lip, or a VARIS body kit for checked baggage.

Rays parts like lug nuts are significantly cheaper in Japan.

STI Steering Rack Bushings.

I'll buy them off you at price, which I think is like $40 each.

please be that guy

and then make a group buy thread
