Fukuoka Custom Car Show 2010 was recently held at the Yahoo Dome, home of the Fukuoka Hawks baseball team.
With the Fukuoka Auto Salon cancelled this year, we went along to see what was on offer. Amongst the many VIP styled and Kei cars there were quite a number of local Kyushu and Fukuoka based workshops and tuners in attendance.
Read more for photos and some details on local Fukuoka tuners that don't normally make it to the limelight among the glamour of Tokyo Auto Salon.
URAS
URAS had the largest stand in the hall, greeting attendees at the entrance. All of the well known URAS cars were there, including 4 Door R34 Skylines and the Tokyo Auto Salon winning Wagon R. Our favourite however was the matte black RX7. Nomuraken was in attendance, signing stickers, dashes and everything else anyone asked of him!
