How do I become that guy that imports Toyota 86 badges from Japan to USA - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I see what you've done! You've already appointed Leeky!

Yea, that would be a better option since we have members from Europe.

Yeah.. I mean HID from Europe is the one that doesn't blind people here right? and the badges and everything else is the same so yup.

yeah but I did say if you have a language barrier problem, it would be easier to get it from an English speaking country like... I don't know

England?

LOL

You could always get them from Australia, it'd be fairly hassle free, the only problem is you'd be subject to the ridiculous prices Toyota charges Australians.

It will all depend on the price conversion between the Japanese Yen and the British Pound and shipping.

Even though it's all coming from Japan, I'd rather order it from the UK. I've ordered a lot of motorcycle parts from the UK and to be able to communicate both over the phone and email is a bonus. No offense to the Japanese but dealing with someone who can't speak or understand English fluently is a nightmare.

That would be the main reason NOT to get it from Australia!

Tons of Japanese ESL students here, Jay. You just have to know where to look. (hint: Everywhere downtown...)

I have put in an inquiry for the side marker lights (I want to smoke some/paint some body color) Also for tail lamps (UK spec for the rear fogs) and seeing the functionality to that. Also headlamps (I would like BRZ because of the "halo" and my custom idea for a pair)

thread revival. I'm hoping they don't screw us by making the scion badges not match up with the size/shape of toyota badges. Some may say it's dumb or still going to be a scion legally and mechanically, but I'm by all means doing a badge swap if I choose the frs over the brz.

Japanparts.com is too expensive.....
