[Update: 17.10.2023] This post was updatedto take more recent information into account. Nippon is a reading form of Japanese spelling. The term is often associated with products from Japan. So it is also in the tuning of Japanese vehicles, such as Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan and Suzuki. At the latest after the successful tuning series of The Fast and The FuriousIn which many Japanese vehicles were used, the Nippon tuning is very popular and is finding more and more followers. In the The Fast and the Furious movies as well as in the Nippon Tuning scene it's not about subtle tuning, but about wild and extreme tuning. That's why you'll also find various tuning parts for Nippon vehicles.
Body and aerodynamics tuning
Wild spoilers and huge rear wings are common in Nippon tuning. Widebody kits, many “normal” body kits, but also front and rear diffusers are therefore available for many common Nippon vehicles. Countless components are also available for classic vehicles like the Nissan Skyline. Complete bonnets with air openings, widened front and rear fenders as well as tailgates made of real carbon and lots of wings are popular, which not only look good but are also lighter in weight while maintaining the same strength.
Providers are, for example Seibon Carbon or Z Tune. Of course, classic tuning details such as exterior mirror covers, radiator grilles and headlight covers can also be found in the Nippon scene. When it comes to headlights and taillights, various suppliers also offer offers in chrome, black or a combination of chrome and black for the most common Nippon vehicles. You can also get side indicators, fog lights and daytime running lights from many suppliers. The trends are actually available relatively quickly for Nippon vehicles, too lugnuts.
Chassis - as deep and sporty as possible

Straight UltraRacing is one such provider that offers various stiffeners, but also cross struts and other accessories for many Nippon vehicles. Suspensions are available from the usual suspension manufacturers, but also from less well-known ones in this country such as 7Twenty or Öhlins.
Of course, wheel spacers are also available in all dimensions for Nippon vehicles. Track and camber adjusters are often used for show & shine effects.
