WTF 高いよ! 5


400x600-2011040900112This used TRD Trueno Carbon Bonnet is on Yahoo Auction right now for 980000円.That’s like $13000.  Now anyone can ask any amount of money for anything, but there is another Levin hood on auction right now that is getting action and looking like it could sell for $4000.

No wonder ハチロク仲間 were giving me so much respect in Japan when I was showing them pictures of my car.

    Well this is considered a rare and sought after part at any time. But it is true that all kyusha parts right now are more expensive than I have ever seen them. Wheels are retarded right now. I actually looked at XXR’s on EBay today because stuff in Japan is so rich. Barf. But you can buy a whole set of brand new USDM wheels for less than a pair of bent and boroi SSR’s in Japan. The same XXRs are three or four times the price that they are here, in Japan

    The Levin hood sold for 380000円 which is easily $5000 at todays exchange rate. mad.

    As for wheels… maybe Japan has run out. All the old classics may be either bent and gone, or exported oversees. I’ll say this: since I bought my A3E’s in 2008 I have been looking for more and seen none… for any price. I’ve even been willing to buy singles. I’m currently looking for a set of Star Sharks for a friend, in 4 months I finally found a set last week, but they were double what I expected them to be. When I bought my bronze star sharks years ago, there were pages and pages of red and black ones on yahoo, and I played elitist by scouting out gold/bronze ones.

    Seems impossible now.

    XXR/Rota probably have a good chance of victory here.
