JDM parts

Hi people, this is a great site!
I just got back overseas and saw a ton of great accessories for the FT86. I'm guessing many of you will want accessories. If you plan on importing Japanese Right hand drive headlights, it's a problem being they focus on the other side. I sell a few million $ in headlights per year since my business focuses on genuine Toyota/Lexus parts. I recommend you wait and get the Euro Spec FT86 headlights w/ the LED's, don't buy the JDM ones.

when I'm ready to sell the FT86 parts it will either be direct to the consumer or I will wholesale to other shops. Prices will crush other vendors by up to 15%. I will import the 86 airbags w/ the logos to convert your Scion bag as well.

I'm gathering up all the genuine part #'s and will place an order in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure if TRD USA will officially import the aero kits which I'm waiting on if it will happen. If it doesn't I may import a few. I mainly stock Lexus genuine parts with $400k inventory (headlights, smart keys, etc.). I will come on here and learn a bit more about the car.

I won't sell the Greddy kit, contact SP Engineering they are a big dealer. Speak with Will or Eugene.

I will only carry OEM items like the JDM/Euro spec clear markers. Mods don't worry I will discuss with you when it's time.
Anyway, how's the sales on the Scion/Subaru in the US so far?

Even though he claims there "were no angle issues", you will still be blinding people in oncoming traffic by running those lights I'm pretty sure.

I don't know the vendors on here, I still have to navigate through. Last time I did it was back in March I think. Anyway, I know about RHD vehicles very well. I've been selling Toyota/Lexus headlights for 14 years, owned a real RHD Aristo V300 overseas, visit Japan time to time. Just for all you members to know, don't buy a RHD headlight for your LHD model, you can get a ticket, and WILL blind oncoming drivers.
headlights are designed to focus to the right a little to see the side of the road. JDM/RHD headlights will do focus to the LH a bit more. Wait a little longer for the LHD Euro Specs to come in.
