I am looking into making a little trip to jdm land to possibly grab a mass quantity of parts to bring back and sell at a reasonable price. Was looking into some of them uras aero accessories like s15 head lights they make or their purple 180 tail lights.

any suggestions on what I should look for and bring back for the 240 community?

What kind of things are you bringing to ship stuff back in? Bumpers and stuff like aero may be too big, especially if you're over the international shipping size. If I were you, I'd just bring back small things, like shift knobs, steering wheels, steering wheel hubs, etc. Or just bring back little JDM doo hickeys, nothing too large. That's up to you, but if you got shipping hook ups, bring back some JDM wheels from the junkyard, and people will definately want them.

there's plenty of homos who think anything JDM is the greatest thing ever, so i'm sure whatever you bring back you'll be able to sell.

Yes I am sure. I acually have a nice shipping hook up so I can even bring back some aero products or even some exhausts. Just trying to find some stuff that people here on zilvia would be intrested in buying. Looking into nardi's since you dont run across them all too easy.

Well, if you can gimme a good price on USED stuff, I'll buy from you, I need sideskirts, rear aero (valences) a nardi wheel/hub combo. So. . .lemme know what you bring back.

O yeah, and wheels, lightweight ones :D

I would just buy stuff that you would want to use or are going to use when you come back to the states.

Its my experience that when you buy stuff you think you can sell, you end up buying a lot of crap you shouldn't have spent money on in the first place.

Small knicknacks and doodads are the only winners.

And a lot of the stuff you guys listed above is already carried in the US quite abundantly, you just gotta ask around or do more searching. The "JDM import" craze is quite saturated IMO, so the necessity of getting stuff in Japan is debateable.

There might be a market for some of the hard to find items like the notchback hatch for the S13 Fastback or the non-pop lights for the S13. I came across an interesting non-popup today on yahoo japan as a matter of fact.

now if I can find those and bring them back... would offer more than the current choices either : 1, popups 2, silvia *all 3 flavors* 3, s15 front end 4, FD style headhights...aka the ones that were just posted
