    I've seen only a single thread on these. They look great! Hard to believe there is no way to get these here in the US. Can anyone provide information on how to buy these? I'm referring to the tow hook ones in this thread:

    I believe they are only available through Yahoo Auctions Japan.

    Geez, wish I could translate the sites. I'd buy in a heartbeat if so.

    What thread? Are both of my browsers cutting the post short?

    (I'm seeing hints of missing content on other posts too.)

    Hmmm, gotta look into that when I am home and on my computer. Surely those would help a person to see the car in traffic and potentially make it safer.

    I searched many times and came up with nothing. Me thinks I don't have the correct words to search. What else could they be called?

    I finally got mine in from Japan, it took a little over a month for them to come in from the time of order. I haven't even had the chance to open the box yet. I did NOT like working with easy auctions japan. They were unresponsive until I filed a paypal claim. They were rude as hell after the claim was filed, I'm not sure if it was a language barrier thing or just plain rudeness.

    Note that I only filed the claim after their site was down for maintenance for 4 days and I figured I'd been duped.

    Here is the link: Auction

    You pay them with paypal, see the "buy it now price" and then wait for like a month until they come in. It gets slightly confusing. I will post a pic of the package tonight. It looks very plain. I haven't installed them yet, have to finish the big turbo install on the Supra first.

    Make sure you email the japan auction site owners that you want the "Shiro (white)" color.

    "Shiro ga ii." Meaning, "White is good for me," or "I prefer white."

    JDM Prius has no tow hooks. Built in Japan and no need to tow them across the ocean, hence no tow hooks :)
