In a thrilling return to Japan, Larry Chen, sponsored by Yokohama Tire, delves into the heart of Tokyo Auto Salon's vibrant car culture. At JBAT Customs, Larry meets the mastermind behind the unique creations, Jun. Jun's 2001 Nissan Frontier defies convention with a bold body kit from Thailand, housing a KA24DE engine known more for its truck roots than sports car prowess. Jun's meticulous modifications, from custom headers to intricate details, transform the overlooked truck into a street cruiser inspired by NASCAR aesthetics. The challenge of finding the perfect wheels underscores Jun's dedication to achieving a cohesive, standout look for his projects.
Jun's second masterpiece, a Datsun Sunny pickup, boasts a L15 engine and a static setup primed for drifting adventures. The pickup's striking body kit and clean interior showcase Jun's keen eye for detail and commitment to crafting unique, eye-catching vehicles. Transitioning to the Toyota Sera, Jun's creation adorned in a Yamato body kit exudes '90s flair with a digital dash and bespoke seat belts. The Sera's distinct blue headers and vintage aesthetic pay homage to a bygone era of automotive enthusiasm, reflecting Jun's passion for blending old-school charm with modern appeal.
As Larry teases Jun's upcoming projects, including a customer's car and a new venture featuring a Pandem body kit, viewers are left eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Jun's automotive saga. Tokyo Auto Salon's kaleidoscope of events and Jun's innovative designs serve as a testament to the boundless creativity and passion pulsating through Japan's car scene. Larry's captivating journey through the realm of custom builds and unique creations at JBAT Customs offers a glimpse into a world where automotive artistry knows no bounds, inviting enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the thrill of Tokyo's vibrant car culture.
