Just arrived in Japan. What should I get for my Fit?

On my paid vacation. Just wondering what kind of items I should pick up for my Fit that would be cheaper to buy here in Japan and still be reasonable to be transported back to the U.S.

LOL the choices are endless!

Postage is always gonna be expensive, but tbh, you'll save more money buying the stuff in Japan and arranging postage yourself that you would buying through a middle man! Deffo visit Spoon!

Have fun

just be careful you buy something that fits haha.

i saw a guy on hodna tech post up places that looked like flea markets with stuff hanging all over the walls. They even had a used car parts place with wheels, exhausts, and front lips. There was a modulo lip or whatever for $75 bucks

If you so happen to be in Tokyo area.. go to Akihabara (Akiba) and you can easily blow all your savings there... if you bring your SO with you.. then your saving (and maybe her's ) will be gone twice as fast =D

I'm actually in Nerima near Ikebukuro. I went to Akihabra (so much electronics and porn...lol) and Shinjuku yesterday. I'm planning to visit Spoon and Type One before I leave on Thursday.

The arcades here are huge but I rather spend my money else where. The size of the department stores here are ridiculous. I spend most of my money on ramen (and ski-men), yakitori, and beer.
