its because most shops in japan dont stock anything. they get the cash in hand and then start making the products.
its also because the shops down here in the usa want a full container before japan sends out the products.

I used to wait for parts, now I rarely wait for anything. Guess I buy stuff at the right time now.

It was about 8 months that I had ordered a Tracy Sports radiator cooling panel, but after so long I pulled the plug and used the credit towards a hood instead.

But for the good stuff, you have to wait.

You either have to wait for JDM parts or swoop up what you can when a shop gets a shipment (if everything is not already spoken for). There is always used parts, but you have to wait for the seller to sell it... after a while you just kind of get used to it and expect it
