I went there on grand opening day, its called RRR or something, some r32 r33 r34 seats, bride seats, ALOT of wheels are crazy high ass prices. Personally for a used parts store I think its expensive.

Its called Red Round Racing (RRR).

They grand opened on April 25th.

You can sorta consider them the UpGarage of the USA. I think thats their parent company (but don't quote me on that).

If you guys don't know what UpGarage is, its one of the largest chain of used auto parts store in Japan(don't quote me on that either).

RRR doesnt have a website, but you can see their ad in LA Auto Guide. Their address is 1701 W. Redondo Beach Blvd. in Gardena, CA. Open from 11:00am-8:00pm on Tue-Sat and on Sun from 10:00am-7:00pm. CLOSED on Mon. Their phone number is 310.352.1100

I heard that place is pretty cool.. haven't checked it out yet. I'm told from my friends who did go, the prices are freakin' high.

Red Round Racing. Some parts are expensive and some parts are cheap. My friend has a white kouki and he bought a white kouki bumper with jdm foglights for $280. Since it's already painted his cars color it was a good deal. They have a pair of r32 gt-r seats on sale for $450. Not bad. They have a pair of r33 gt-r seats for $650. Both pairs are in really good condition. Not bad at all. They have 2-3 bride zieg seats on sale for $550 each. One is carbon fiber and goes for $650. They have a slightly used red zeta 3 for $650 and a brand new one for $750. No rails or brackets included. They have 4 Brix seats and 2 Ergo seats in pretty good condition (prolly 1 year old or less with no stains, just normal wear) for $650 each. These are the real deal, not the pos ebay suede fakes.

The rims are way over priced. R33 gt-r rims for $2100. laters

Really? They closed. Damn I was there like a month ago.

Maybe that's why they didn't have much inventory.

Their shit was hella expensive anyways. Wheels were okay priced though

I always used to hear people bitch that RRR was too expensive... Thats bullshit. The place was like a damn swap meet. It was fairly easy to talk them down on pricing. They once had some 16x9 super negative offset SSR meshies that were listed at 1400 bucks, and one of my buddies talked them down to 900. Easy.

I'll miss that place. =/

Looks like old stock they're clearing out. Check out how low the prices are compared to what they were in the store.
I think RRR's problem was that Up Garage would only send them the stuff they couldn't unload in Japan, making for less of a selection than the japanese home stores.

Dude, I'm sure there's some sweet deals in there. But everytime I go in there it's always full of marked up expensive shit. When I see a SR T-25 turbo for $350. I'm not thinking that's a good deal at all. Sure sometimes I'll see stuff for cheap but it's not the best of conditions. The wheels were at good prices like I said, but not all of them. I've been to up garages in Japan also and it's like that also alot of times. It's marked down, but not that much.

Trust me I also know that they have to make money on their products also. So I understand where their coming from.

I think that their costs were inconsistent and that affected their prices. Yes an sr t25 turbo for $350 is ridiculous. They did have some good deals though. I bought my HKS FCon VPro there for $500 and that retails for $1400 so for me that was a deal of a lifetime.

i miss them..especially converting my white kouki to a jdm kouki were all due to their help.. thank God i was able to complete its conversion before it closed. The deal were sweet for knowing that all of the exterior parts needed were painted white in such a low low price. oh with fog lights included too.. whoohoo!
