I ordered on japanparts.com. It was a bit cheaper in my case and I got STI shift knob speedfactory doesn't have on their website. I ordered on Friday morning(Saturday in Japan already) and it came a week after on next Monday with UPS. I was happy about it. Best way to assess is to compare prices side by side and take in account shipping charges plus if necessary duties and taxes. Federal duty for car parts import is 2.5% if I looked it up correctly. Of course, if there is something you want and it is only available in Japan, then you got your answer.

Grill: what I will be doing this weekend. Smells good, tastes better. Grille: protective metal covering. Allows bugs to lodge themselves inextricably between said metal, and become permanent fixtures on your car It does look good! Always thought the bumper plastic was awkward... |

So as I was finishing up my 2 1/2 hour wash and wax of the car, I noticed that one of my Rays wheels clear coat was peeling off and is now a noticeable discoloration compared to the other three.
Any ideas on how to get back that Rays shine? I'm thinking I can take it to a pro shop to take care of it, but have no idea how much the cost (or risk) would be...
