Came across this Japanese company, K-Spec, that produces aero parts/body kits and exhausts/mufflers for Japanese vans and K-cars. Their aero parts division goes under the smooth name of “Silk”. They go along a bit with the VIP theme with the large bumpers and huge muffler tips. I love the fog lights they add to the front!

Their kits aren’t too over the top and the dual tip muffler works nicely with the SILK kit.

JDM dimensional wheels from BADX

I was browsing an old Style Wagon Club magazine brought back from Japan and came across an ad for wheels from BADX Japan. Most of the wheels they produce are aimed at sub-compacts/smaller cars and have a dimensional face to them with the use of contrasting colors and depth. The wheel pictured above is the “Turbine”, inspired by, well, a turbine!

Another wheel, the DIVA Double Face, which features different colored spokes for a stealth effect, as shown on a JDM Toyota bB.

The offsets could be a little better, but it still looks good in my book.

Kei-car tuning, to me, is one of the most entertaining forms of tuning to come from Japan. A very small car is taken as the canvas (often 600cc or less engine) and is modded up with aero pieces and full slammage. 15″-16″ wheels can look proper on these cars, as demonstrated with this Honda Life Dunk by Butterfly System. This is one of their demo cars among many other Kei-cars. Notice the large exhaust tips, sort of a cue from VIP Style tuning, along with the cambered, flush wheels and OEM-look aero pieces.
