From Japan had a weekly deal where you saved 10% off purchases from Rakuten Japan so I saved $900 on 17x9.5 TE37 Sagas (around $2700 landed) and a friend saved $1000 on 18x9 Advan GTs. It's definitely worth it when it comes to high end wheels but they recently reduced the discount to 5% unfortunately. For smaller items, I usually ask if others are looking for anything so we can split shipping to make it more tolerable. Luckily my circle of friends is all into high end JDM parts so we have shipments constantly going. Also, when you spend more than ¥400K (around $5K) in the last year on a rolling basis, you save 10% off shipping. For this reason, we only use my account to import parts and have spent tens of thousands over the last few years. Overall, we've had very pleasant experiences and there was only one shipment where a set of wheels got a bit scuffed up from transport but most of it buffed out. |

For situations like this I wished I lived in Ontario where there's more people doing this sorta thing. Otherwise AB is nice in that we don't have PST and gas is cheap lol.
wanted to order in a zenki front bumper but turns out the color code for the red for zenki's are different than the ablaze :\. As much as i like the looks of the zenki front vs the refresh, can't justify paying that much (or even getting a scion frs front bumper) and still have to repaint. Will spend money on manifold + tune first |
