Wishful thinking list

Okay. So while I like to keep grounded about getting things and don't really want to "wishfully think" about items, but I figure I mind as well put out my hit list or wish list. Recently I found a cool box... How in the world and all the sequence of events that led one from Canada to the Bay area, where it laid in a junkyard before I stumbled up on it... is beyond me. But the fact that I randomly found one blew my mind. It was one of those "wishful thinking" items. With that said, why not entertain this fantasy, yeah? First off, I like OEM options in my van or at least something that is meant for the Previa. While right now, I like my Previa how it is, I do wish I had some JDM goodies. Note: this list is in no particular order. 1. JDM body kits... Or any body kit for that matter! There are some pretty cool body kits, but that also entails of lowering the van. I am actually a body kit person and have always love the idea of making a vehicle look

2017 Update --- some JDM goodies!!!

Okay... so while my Previa is my wife's daily, I've decided to take some small steps to make it nicer! I've always loved the JDM stuff and decided it is now the time to get some upgrades. When I was going to the Nissan leopard meeting in Hamamatsu Garden Park, a stock white TCR10 Estima Aeras was there... It looked so clean being factory white with the kouki tail/head lights and that awesome roof rack! Anyways, I wanted to start gravitating towards that look and eventually get the bumpers or maybe the kit. So I jumped on yahoo auctions and found many pieces I wanted for GREAT PRICES! Shipping does suck, but you gotta pay to play. So far, these are the times I have: So I wanted to get the awesome tail lights and I had to piece the set together. But here are the center and trunk parts of the tail lights. I won these for $28. Now, I still needed the end/corner lights. So I found a guy selling them separately and for BUY NOW price of  $11 each
