Shops in Japan (Okinawa)

Ok, so I've been in Okinawa for about a month now. Still no luck on some junk yards or shops.

I just want to go pull a dual halogen front bumper for a s13,clear corners for the 8, and the factory rotary taillight...nothing more...also I do want a Mazdaspeed front end for the 8 but I'm sure that wont be in a junk yard or a shop for that matter. lol

does anyone know of anyplace I could go to? any suggestions? I have used every resource I could so far...

thanks guys

You will not be able to find those in the metro area.

There are couple of shops in the Okinawa area, but hmm, I know how to get there but just dunno the address.

Anyway, I do not think any shop would stock Mazdaspeed bumpers. You have to order them.

there is a rotary shop close to where i use to live. best way for me to explain is, do you know the PX gate at camp butler? well there is antoher gate further up the hill (where the shoppette is) you head out that gate and keep going straight for about 5 miles. you will end up hitting a rotary (to your left) shop with tons of FC and FD hanging out. its Called Super efini.

as for junkyards, north okinawa have alots of junkyards that have modded cars. since its close to henza. but that is hard to xplain for directions.

Btw its called Super Infinity. also there is a Rotary Shop on Hwy 58 heading past kadena aribase, close to Kadena Circle. but that one, i cant remember the name. but it also has tons of FC and FD's parked outside.

those 2 are the only easy one that i can think of. alot of the rotary shops are in between streets. And since okinawa has millions of streets, it would be hard for me to explain. but enjoy your stay there. Also if you head towards Naha port area, you will see lots of drifters out there. Senuga is another area for drifting, its past Naha Airport.

Np, i was talking to my uncle (who owns a nissan specialty shop) he told me there is a new rotary shop in the chatan area. but chatan has changed so much, i dont even know what area he is talking about lol. Chatan area is like Camp lester - Kadena area . ALso he said something about Sunabe Seawal having one also. but sunabe to me is club and resturant area. so not sure why a tuner shop would be there. but would make sense, since the hwy 58 is use for street racing. (across from kadena airbase Hwy 58 gate).
