Have anyone done this before?

I don't know Japanese but are there sometype of services out there that can assist me with the purchase??

There are some parts that I can't find in Japanparts.com and it is tons cheaper than that website.

Please let me know.

PS. Any Japanese here that could help me I would be really appreciated.

Cheers,

 

arent there things you can download that make the japanese text show in english ??

im not sure ..

if so post your findings please ...

 

you can do google translation and it translates the whole page into english or what ever language you want

 

Thank You Sunny, I actually about to reply I just tried Google and it works pretty well. Next step I'm going to write in English and Translate to Japanese when I order my parts LOL.

This gonna be fun but boy, did I hit the gold mine, I saved almost 40% vs Japanese Parts but just have to work a lilbit harder thats all.

 

care to share some of your findings?????

 

share your findings and the links to the company's or sites in japan..

please ...thanks ...

 

pleeeeese.................................

 

maybe this is where he searched from..

You can easily buy stuff from Yahoo Shopping Japan... but be careful since most Japanese sellers will not ship to the US/International. There are a couple of companies that will broker the deal and ship the parts out to you, but they charge a fee. I'm curios to hear what the OP did too.

 

yea, that's pretty much spot on. either have a company, person, or friend in japan order it for you and then have them forward it to the states.

 

I understand it is risky but I was hoping to purchase couple vendors that have tons of positive feedback that is willing to work w/ me. So far I have found some vendors and I had emailed them as of today.

Here is the product that I'm looking for:

It kind of like my Ravspec but I like these better and they the elegant look on the car. I'm planning to buy the whole set as of now the price is around 1200-1300 dollars not include shipping. I will find out more I hope.

By all means, if you know any JDM here in the state carry these part that I'm looking for, please feel free to share.

Cheers,

 

My friend used to buy rare footware on yahoo japan and flip them in the US market. I believe his service guy charged 12% of an item cost.

For those looking for Japanese shoppers, Google for proxy services, that's what these intermediary service providers are called. They're very common in the clothing/fashion arena and usually charge ~10% on top of the purchase price to buy/bid/ship to international buyers. I and others have been very satisfied with Sharp Service Japan. (I have no affiliation with them, just used them once with good success)

 

sick kit although I don't really like the grille.. the emblemless OEM grille would look cleaner in black
