do you have plans (please say you do) of importing the Ride bodies??? please please please??? it'd be a nice change to see an Acura TSX mixed in with our nice selection of Stratus, Mazda6 and Alfas
btw.. that TSX is probably the best looking body out there right now. the real ride looks nice too

put me down for 3 TSX bodies..
Hope to get my TSX by end of the year...
but I do hope Acura brings in the TSX Sport Wagon from Europe.

Hey Steve,
It looks like you had a good time in Japan. As you said to me before, you DO go extra miles to bring us the best items and info!!! I know that making an international trip for 3 - 4 days is not easy.... Thanks for bringing us such a cool update on the show.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
I'm really glad you guys are enjoying the report. I was in Japan actually for exactly 48 hours (Thurs. 5:30 to Sat. 5:30) it was very tiring, but I think it was well worth the trip
On some of the stuff you guys saw, you bet we are working on getting them into the shop, plus some other items that I have yet to post pictures of
As for release date on some of the items, it is a bit sketchy as to when we'll get it here, as all the relase date posted are for the Japan market. The Yokomo chargers should come pretty quickly as Yokomo USA has always been good on brining in the latest and the greatest. The EVOIV is looking like July-Augustish for the US market. The RIDE stuff might have to come through under the speed tech label or someone elses label, but it will be the same body (just different packaging.)

Nice report Steve, now finish it! 
I've been wondering when someone is going to import the Ride bodies to the US. But of course the Japan market is so quick in turnover that it's a "flavor of the month" market for kits, bodies, etc. So by the time the Ride bodies are in the US it'll be something new and cool in Japan.
