S2000 accessories shopping. Anything that may be cheaper to get in Asia than here?

I am sure you will be able to find every type of air freshioner, cup and cellphone holder there and other stuff. Just becareful of fake stuff. Use cash, and try to get some deals. Have fun.

Practically anything available in Japan can be available in HK, if you know where to look. But as others have pointed out, you have to know your supplier and you have to know exactly what you want. There are lots of fake merchandise around, and counterfeit is almost a recognized way of doing business.

One thing that you can pick up in HK would be S2000 toys, including die-cast models, plastic kits, or RC cars. These can come from all over the world, not just Japan. And for these, you don't care if it is a knock-off as long as it looks good to you.

Not unless you have a multi-region player or they're selling ITU Region 2 DVD titles.

Since a lot of people are ordering clear side markers and they're not available around here. That would be one of my item. The other one is Mugen ECU, assuming it will be cheaper. What is a good price for Mugen ECU?

Anything else that's not too heavy to carry home for the S?

HK...all sorts of accesories...if you're into all sorts of thing....
Cup Holders, Phone Holders, Neon Glow Lights for Interior, Black Lights, Headligbt bulbs, Fake Stickers...

If I was into the market for electronic stuff, I'd snap them up in HK as well...
Gauges... Controllers... Stereo Stuff...

And dont forget to bargain!!! Thats one thing you can get away ANYWHERE in HK (besides the mainstream supermarkets and shopping centres)

Oh, snap up them MP3 CDs and Best Motoring VCD/DVDs as well!!!
