They aren't that hard to get.
I, on the other hand, must torture myself as much as possible, so last year I set out trying to find the blue JDM "Trust" pads.
Now I know the ones that say "Greddy" on them are like $30 and available everywhere, but no, like an idiot, I had to have the ones that said "Trust", and the REAL ones.
Well, $75 and 4 months later, I had them.

They can get ANYTHING, just ask. Methinks that my next tasks for them shall be a GEAR'S strut bar and an Esprit shift knob
