Yay! My parcels arrived from Japan, with some presents for my car (and me!)

This is most of the car stuff i got there (some others but mainly just replacement car parts):
Forum image

Explanations:
A) Tomy R/C Mark X sedan, about the size of a 1/24th model and surprisingly fun! Has slammed stance with low offset rims too!
B) My complete Cedric/Gloria workshop manuals. Cost a pretty penny on Yahoo auctions but will be invaluable IMO (before you ask, yes i can read them)
C) Stick on wingmirror indicators. Not quite the same as the real-thing but at $20 its worth a try. Looks very inconspicuous on my car (which is dark grey too)
D) Mitsuba Alpha II Horns, my all-time favourite horn... Very classy yet loud enough to scare the bejesus outta anyone!
E) Truck King magazine, can you believe a mag dedicated to those crazy disco trucks? Very cool
F) Mmm... LED puddle lights. All metal construction so it feels real sturdy
G) My 'JDM Yo!' stickers: "Nihon", "Drive Safe" and "Dont hit me" or something similar
H) JDM Learner signs (magnet, and that reflective type that is hard to photograph)
I) Aquamarine headlight tint paint kit
J) (back on the right), Junction Produce UCF30 Celsior model in a glass case

Cant wait to use this stuff!! Hehe sorry, didnt mean to brag, just got a little excited :)

Nice shopping! Are those wingmirror indicators bendy or rigid?

Wing mirror indicators are rubber, so they flex to the mirror. I'll fit them this weekend and see, I always intended to upgrade to chrome mirrors anyway (factory option on my car), so if i dont like it i'll just take them off

They were actually from Hasegawa in their clearance bin. They are on the Cedric now, but if i can source some chrome door mirror covers i'll sell the ones i got to you cheap! (would just need to put new double sided tape on them - the stuff thats on there isnt very good)
