Just wondering if there are any new options for the a/c *****. I made custom ones a ways back and might be looking for something new. Here is what I use now.

 

theres the crystal ones and some metal ones i saw somewhere..

 

i've been looking for the metal ones forever and can never find them. i saw them once on ebay and let them pass me by.

 

The crystal ones look like shower *****

 

 

Those are the ones I used to make the Hot Wheel ones. They were useless untill I gave them a handle.

 

where did you get them?

 

A friend of a friend that was visiting Japan.

 

These are a couple that I have seen...




Good luck getting a hold of the first set. Unless you have someone in Japan.

 

I like the second ones. Where are they available? What exactly are the first ones. They are too blurry. Thanks!

 

get with this dude in Ebay
i think he is the only contact stateside for the company that makes those 2nd *****

the first pic Rton20s posted is from SouthCorpYokohama
they never have returned my Emails.....

**edit**
i right clicked on the above pics and it has the web address for both companies

the second set is from www.KGworks.co.jp

 

I love the first set! Just messaged a friend who is in japan right now to see if they could make a stop at that store for me. They've got a lot of stuff on that South corporation site that is also sold by k.g.works japan.

 

Yup, South Yokohama and KG works. KG Works is available stateside. I believe you can order from them directly. At least that is what JDMJim has said.

Mr. Purple... if you end up with a guy able to go by the SY store in Japan, let me know first. I might want to see if he could grab a couple of things for me as well.

 

I just ordered a bunch of K.G. works stuff off of yahoo japan. The only stuff i found of theirs in the U.S. was for Miatas (modifying Miatas is just wrong in so many ways). I messaged my friend who is Japan last night, but haven't heard from her yet. Don't know exactly what area she's in, but she's from Tokyo. Hopefully she just went back there, and will be in the area of the store I'll let you know when she responds. What parts are you looking for?

 

I painted mine with that flat black rubberized texture spray paint. It matches the rest of the console and looks pretty slick. I'll post a pic later.

 

I'll let you know on the parts. I think a lot of what I would be willing to have someone else get for me can be had through K.G Works, but I'll let you know.

 

paint em!!! i can take a closer pic tonight if anybody wants it? if you get your dash/stuff painted like i painted mine, it is a great accent to have them all match!

 

Just got a message back from my friend in Japan,and she's not going to be in that area,. Did find out that www.wheelchoice.com will not only handle yahoo japan bidding/shipping, but will also buy things from Japanese online stores for you also. Their fee is $10 base, and something like $1 for every 1,000 yen. They're going to order those A/C ***** for me and ship them over with some K.G. works stuff that was purchased from auction sites.

 

I received the AC ***** in the 2nd pic from south yokohama corp. today, but they don't fit. Insted of being direct replacements for the A/C ***** they're just hollow domes that fit over the oem bB A/C ***** and attach with a set screw. Of course the XB ones are bigger in diameter, so they don't fit.


I'm hoping I can buy these, and they will fit inside the the covers I bought. For people who have the ***** in the 1st pic below, can you tell me what the diameter of them are? Hopefully they'll fit inside, and I can use those.




These are what I bought

They ended up just being covers, and the oem ac ***** fit inside them.

 

i painted the *****......
