Photograph in Japan!! Kustom&Lowrider&HOROD

This thread makes me very, very happy. Had no idea the kustom kulture was so big over there, previously when you mentioned Japanese car culture I got these images of vans with huge fins and built-in dance platforms, and later model sedans with way too much camber and four foot high exhaust tips. Japan is now on my "to visit" list big time. Everything looks so nice and clean there too - the roads, buildings, towns, etc. Cool place.

I remember the first time I saw a Japanese Lowrider Magazine. It blew my mind. They take what we do to another level, the bikes the cars. Everthing done with so much class. They have it hands down

 

those rides blew my mind. i wouldnt have even thought there was much of a hot rod/ custom scene on japan. keep the amazing work up. please post more pics

 

outstanding pictures. thank you for sharing. I wish most were in my garage.

 

Toshi, thanks for the great pics and link to your part of the world...great things going on there for sure!!!........ not sure of these guys ethnic origins but they are clearly deeply involved in there hot rod right here in Cali.....Paso that is (2004). anybody know these guys??

 

I've seen a polar bear ride a tricycle. This was more unexpected and amazing. Even the spanish authentic lettering on the doors and placards. Beautiful.

 

Beautiful cars for sure! Wonderful pics, Arigatou gozaimasu Toshi

Mate, you sound a bit like a dope. Did YOU know that AUSTRALIA will not let you import American cars if they were modified after 1989?. Not only do they make licence plates over there, they make a shit load of other stuff that you use every day.Show a little respect and spell their country correctly .... CAPITAL Japan.
Nobody here seems to agree with you, that tell you something?

Nice Shovel.

 

more like "they buy it" from what i know at least,,mabye im wrong...mabye not....but thats my take,,,,its still killer though

p.s. what happend to sauveicito 58...58 impala from jose romero from national city bought from somebody from japan?

 

Every single one of those cars are bought just like that?!?!? Crazy... How can they sleep at night?

 

A bunch of sweet rides. Toshi, you scare me, photographing with no hands on the handlebars. Dude, you may end up all over the pavement. Try riding in the back of a pickup bed, while someone else drives. It is a whole lot safer.

 

Dude, I think I just filled the cup! That is the MOST bitching low rider I have ever seen. Hell thats it, I'm selling the gasser project and going the other way!

Its now my desk top background, hope you dont mind Toshi!
