i've gone to japan before and let me tell you...PRICES ARE ABOUT THE SAME! depending on what you buy you may end paying more just shipping things out

Not with the current exchange rate,the turbo kit I paid under 5500 dollars almost 2 years ago is now close to 7000.I don't see our economy bouncing back in the next couple of months.

You will pay the same if not more for the same product.

depending on the exchange rate of the dollar vs. Yen.....you will be upside-down. Unless you can bring them back yourself...like davidv says.

Better to just buy here...plus it will help our economy too.

The only thing worth it out there is to get yourself a Geisha and have her rock your world.
