I’m currently in Tokyo and looking to pick up some parts for my 2024 GR Corolla. I’m planning to head over to Tom’s Racing (specifically their Setagaya/Minato area presence) because I’m eyeing a full carbon fiber body kit and some wheels.

Has anyone here actually bought larger Tom’s parts or wheels directly in Tokyo? I'm wondering:

Stock Availability: Do they usually keep full carbon kits in stock for walk-ins, or is it strictly order-and-wait?

Other Shop Recs: Aside from the official Tom's locations, are there other spots in Tokyo (like A PIT Autobacs Shinonome or specialized GR Garages) that usually have a good selection of GRC aftermarket parts on the shelf?

Logistics: For those who have done this, did you ship them back or try to check them as oversized luggage (specifically for wheels or aero)?

The "Savings" Question: With the current 2026 tariffs (10% standard plus potential Section 232 add-ons) and the high cost of ocean/air freight for bulky items like a bumper or a full set of wheels, is it actually cheaper to buy these in Japan? Or do the shipping costs and import duties eat up the savings compared to buying from a US-based distributor like LMTLS or Tom's USA?

I’m specifically looking for shops within the Tokyo metro area. Appreciate any leads or personal experiences!
