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 [...]
