Got another little box of stuff for my Z today from Japan.



Metal floor mat tags for my Z, they need a little cleaning but are super unique and another little rare bit for my car. They're like 4" long by 1" high. I've seen silvia ones in the states but never a set of Z ones. What do you guys think of them?

Also on a side note, it always cracks me up that stuff from Japan comes packed in the news paper. This time I got clothing store and grocery store ads. Always worth a read

when i used to order stuff from Hobby Link Japan, I would get newspaper to read, and to use as a sheet to spray paint on.

Love those tags. I should get a set of Silvia ones, but I don't have any floormats right now to put them on. I am, however, looking a for a decent set of Nismo mats to put in. They're black, and they match the black/light grey interior theme I'm shooting for.

And then...you have people like the one that shipped my Ken Styles wing with a just 2 layers of bubble wrap, all the way from Japan to Alabama, and it arrived with minor cosmetic damage, I was surprised the thing was still in one piece.....

I shipped a two=piece titanum muffler to Germany for a freind with an EVO VII, It was wrapped in bubble wrap, then a layer of cardboard, then two rods of rebar bent to the shape of the mainpipe for reinforcement, the another layer of cardboard, the a coat of string reinforced packing tape and finally three rolls-worth of brown duct tape. The think looked like a bent RPG-7 launcher, I'm suprized it went through uncallenged.
