I have a friend that is going to be in Japan for the next month and I have a bag reserved for a few items I really want. I can't find any real info, such as a shop that sells their products, on Flash/ G-Corp. I have Googled the hell out of my evening and came up with a bunch of pages I can't read :bash: or get a good translation on. I would like it if my bag came back with a set of S13 Smoke corner and tail lights. If anyone here can direct me to a shop there or maybe some good links to steer me right I would greatly appreciate the help. :bow:

Ok it seems most of you didn't read my post. I have a friend that will be there for a month, he is there for his job. It is a Gov't contract throught the USAF and he is in Okinawa. He doesnt't have the time to drive around and look for shops aimlessly. If I have a small list of shops I can do some homework and arrange for him to go get the parts I want by sitting on my ass in Mississippi while he goes to the shop and gets what I want. I am not going to Japan. I ONLY WISH. Now can anyone help? I was hoping some of you that have dealt with shops there could steer me in the right direction.

Why don't you just take your corner and tail lights to a local shop and get them smoked?

Ok is he going to Kadena Air Force base? Becuase there are like 3 to 4 shops just around Gate 1 (Main Entrance to Kadena) since they know the Americans like skylines, 180sx and supras so they open shops right there. And there is also typhoon motors on Camp Foster, its basically a junk yard but they always have the nissan lineup (S14, S13, 180sx, Skylines) and their parts are pretty good. Umm thats all I really know I mean there are a lots of shops in Okinawa like Autoshop Turbo, and HAS but they are probally out of his way. Hope this helps.

I paint so if I wanted to waste a set of stock corners I would do so. I would like these instead.
-----Thank you Midori. That is exactly what I was looking for. Maybe more. :bigok:

you won't waste a set of stock corners if you don't suck at painting. if you're worried about it, take them to a professional and let them do it. if they mess them up, they'll buy you some new ones.

I think painting the stock ones is ruining them in case you didn't read that. If you aren't helping go post whore somewhere else. :fawk2:
