Bulletproof Automotive: Tokyo Auto Salon 2015!!
 
**TOKYO AUTO SALON 2015!!**

It's that time of year again folks! We here at Bulletproof Automotive are at Tokyo Auto Salon 2015.

TAS (Tokyo Auto Salon) is one of the largest and most prestigious aftermarket automotive event held in Tokyo. All of the top tuners close up shop to attend. Companies like Top Secret, Varis, Amuse, RE Amemiya, JUN, Studie AG, Liberty Walk, Nismo, and more.

Every year we here at Bulletproof Automotive grab a team of people and make our trek out to Japan to attend this awesome event. We also take time to meet with some of our close friend's and vendors that we deal with on a daily basis.

Our trip usually consists of meetings, TAS, and more meetings. Don't forget the incredible food too! Sushi just isn't the same anymore once you've had it fresh from Japan.

Below we have a collection of some of the most awesome cars and builds we saw at TAS and we're happy to share this content with you. So relax and enjoy the show.

We'll also have more in-depth coverage of some of our more favorite and interesting builds we saw at the show as well so stay tuned.

Below we have some photos of some of the general builds we saw during roll in at TAS 2015. You'll get to see some of the behind the scenes footage of the cars rolling in and being setup for the show.

This year there seemed to be a lot more Japanese tuners focusing on the Euro Car platforms. Check out some of these cars we saw at TAS this year.

The biggest news this year has to be the release of the new Varis wide body kit for the BMW Z4. This has to be one of the best kits and best builds to come out Japan this year. This is definitely be one of our most favorites builds at TAS hands down. We'll have a more in-depth look at this car in later posts.

Varis was busy this year with their Euro platforms. Here is their release of the new VRS lip kit for the BMW M4 line. Subtle, clean, and aerodynamic... just the way we like it.

Here you might remember this car from a recent clip brought to you by Maiham Media. This was the same Studie AG BMW Z4 car shot in the Motor HEAD Hill Climb video at the Hakone Turnpike in Japan. One of our all time favorite Z4's track cars out there.

We couldn't take about Japanese tuned Euro cars without taking a look at some RWB Porsche's. The annual RWB meet is held in Rappongi, a small sub sect in Tokyo, the day before Tokyo Auto Salon. Luckily the dates didn't overlap so some of them could make it over and attend the show.

Rowen, formally known as Tommy Kaira, brought out a very nice Aventador and gorgeous 458.

For many of you guys that are on our Facebook page, you had to have seen our post of this video showing this CRAZY extreme hot pink Lambo with the crazy LED lights. If not, no worries, we have photos for you right here. Japan has some of the most insane designs to come out of the auto industry. Good or bad, it's definitely creative.

Crazy aero parts tuner Ab Flug was there showing off their new kit for the Mercedes line up. Check out this crazy Ab Flug wide body kit and tell us what you think. Understanding and knowing Ab Flug as a company and their history of creating crazy designed aero kits, we kind of like this one.

We know a lot of you Z guys have already seen this Rowen 370Z kit and had mixed feelings on this kit but who cares... We're going to show you guys this car again anyways. We noticed the car during roll in so we had to snap a few shots real quick.

In a surprising turn of events, long time aero parts manufacturer Weber Sports brought out their newly designed Z34 aero kit. If some of you guys remember the older Z33 body kit, the new kit holds some minor resemblance to the old kit but we seem to like this one a little better.

Finally, we were happy to see C-West bringing out their lip kit for the 370Z. The simple and clean design gives a subtle type of aggressiveness to the existing body lines of the Z34.

The FT86 (FRS) model are still very much prevalent in the JDM tuning industry. Here are some of the cool and crazy 86 builds that were there at TAS 2015.

Although this 86 isn't "new" the Blitz Racing chrome wide body 86 was there just in time for roll in. This is truly a beast and we can't wait to see how this car performs at the track.

Here are some of the other 86's we saw roaming around the roll in gates.

Who can forget the Evo's? Here are a couple we saw during setup. We'll be sure to post up more Evo content as the event goes on.

Moar!

C-west looks descent. Little too much going on with the skirts though.

Eclipz 01-08-2015 08:14 PM

interested to see the rest!

It's to bad Mitsubishi won't make Evo's anymore.

ufoz8mycow 01-08-2015 08:32 PM

More of that Weber kit! It looks like it could be pretty sweet except for the big side vents on the front bumper. Not sure about those without seeing more pics.

Zbrah 01-09-2015 12:09 AM

In!

swiss370Z 01-09-2015 12:15 AM

shaun66 01-10-2015 02:54 AM

Some crazy looking cars. The spoiler on the Weber kit looks nice! The rest is way out there for my tastes.

God-Speed 01-10-2015 05:49 AM

**Happy Tuesday Everybody!!**

Tuesday has to be one of the worst days of the week. It's a day after Monday but it's so far from the weekend it seems like it'll never come.

Well fortunately for you guys, we have some more 2015 Tokyo Auto Salon photos to fill this boring day with some awesome JDM photos.

Thank you to all of you guys subscribing and commenting on this thread. We love the support.

We understand some of these builds are pretty crazy and sometimes unpractical but that's what we love about it. It's about being crazy, pushing the envelop, and seeing just how far a tuner can take things. It's creativity to the max.

Some cars are strictly show cars and some are functional track cars. Either way, it's all for the love and passion that we all have for the JDM industry.

So sit back and enjoy :happydance:

I'm sure many of you have already seen this and are in the know, but for those of you who haven't seen these yet, check this out. Ray's is releasing a brand new color for a few of their wheel lines. Namely the Volk ZE40 and the Volk TE37 Ultra wheels. The new color is Diamond Dark Gunmetal and it's GORGEOUS to say the least. You'll see a lot of cars at TAS 2015 with these new wheels on them. Be on the look out for these new wheels for 2015.

Speaking of wheels, how'd you like to have a wall like this in your house?

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...psea462c7e.jpg

Remember the Varis/VRS BMW M4 we showed you? Well check out the hood they made for the M4... It's a BEAST! We love it.

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps8beed9ed.jpg

We saw our fair share of the new Lexus RC and RC-F at TAS this year. Varis had their rendition of the RC-F and so did a bunch of others. We'll be sure to post up more in the coming days but for now, check these out.

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...psa3372be0.jpg

Check out this crazy wide body Lexus LF-A! Definitely suited and prepped for the track. Hopefully we'll see more of this car in 2015.

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...pse238d13b.jpg

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...psc13d4463.jpg

Along with some of the other Euro cars, we saw a ton of Ferrari's out there at TAS this year as well. This Enzo was down right gorgeous!!

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps60b9efd9.jpg

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps8478314f.jpg

One of our most favorite cars is this classic Ferrari F40. We saw this one being brought in during roll in.

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps207aa1c5.jpg

GTR's were a huge part of TAS 2015 and it was no surprise that the big name top tuners in Japan would show off some of their new parts for the R35 platform.

Top Secret brought out their new 2015 edition front bumper for the R35 GTR. With its HUGE opening in the font air dam, this bumper is sure to grab tons of attention in the GTR community.

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps3053db5f.jpg

The Top Secret wide front fenders for the R35 GTR compliment the new front bumper extremely well.

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...pse0afb33b.jpg

The Top Secret rear under skirt and diffuser just tie things up to compete the look of the kit.

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps1fb89412.jpg

Of course who could forget about their infamous Gold R35? This thing was an instant classic.

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps28de076a.jpg

If some of you guys remember the GTR event at Nardo, Top Secret brought out their super aggressive circuit/time attack R35 GTR. This thing is a track monster. Another Top Secret classic.

Say Hi Smokey!! :hello:

http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...psad756007.jpg

There was a whole slew of various GTR's from different companies. It was a tuner guys dream! These GTR's had very long lists of amazing parts from some of the top manufacturers in Japan and the build quality was unparalleled!
