The 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon opened their gates on the 13th of January and remained opened through out the weekend.



Flood of aftermarket companies mixed with manufacturers showed off their latest and greatest.



There were tons of very interesting cars as always from the classics to the concepts. Here are some of the highlights. Starting with the classics, ROCKY AUTO brought out their RB26-powered S30 with a new coat of shiny chrome like paint.



The show also featured a solar-powered 2000GT



RE-Amemiya had another really solid display this year..



Twin turbo FD3s with a carbon fiber front end.



Although I’m not too keen on the latest look of the RE-Amemiya Super NA7



BLITZ brought out this clean EVO X with a nice front bumper design…



HKS had a mean looking CRZ in their booth.



And this is how HKS does vans..



VARIS had their widedboy EVO X there..



This VARIS EVO X made my jaw dropped.



And my mouth drooled when I saw the carbon fiber R35 GT-R next to it.



Over at the C-West booth, they had the new CYBER GT-R R35



And the 2011 WTAC Champ car.



A pair of MUGEN RR CRZ on displayed both boosted via their supercharger.



COCKPIT got this drift-ready S15.



Next to it was their blue boosted beast.



Veilside brought a few heavy hitters like this AMG Black Series with their Premier 4509 aero kit treamtment.



They now offer their Premier 4509 kit for the SLR McLaren that looked like a Renntech front end.



I also thought their 370Z body kit was interesting, certainly different from what’s out there.



My buddies from STUDIE AG brought a matte Gray BMW 5 series wagon all modded with HAMANN parts.



RWB X FATLACE reppin’ at TAS. Props Mark.



ACC (Air Runner) had the 2012 Toyota Alphard in their booth. I actually did a Text Art illustration of this which I’ll be posting soon.



FIVE Axis rocking the house..



Takero’s FIT looks real good.



I’ve also noticed a bunch of cars were using the DINOC carbon fiber wrapp in a lot of their demo cars from partial trims like on this EVO X..



To a full body wrap on this highly modded Lotus.





Matte black Aventador looking sinister as always.



There were a handful of Toyota 86 all modded out at the show like this one with a TRD equipped kit.



I still dig the Modellista better though but maybe mixed with the TRD sideskirts.



A two-sided 86 repping two different tire companies.

A wall with a bunch of after market parts for the 86 ready for consumption



Subaru got their STI version of their BRZ but sup with that odd looking rear wing.



They also have the Black Series BRZ.. much better.



And the Super GT BRZ GT300 race car, even mo’ bettah.



There were three BENSOPRA equipped GT-Rs at the show. Two of them were at the ENKEI‘s booth



I spy a SPEEDHUNTERS‘s decal on the wing of this one.



And the best one of the three – the GReddy 35RX.



If you’re not into widebodies, here’s a great looking R35 with a vented hood.



There were no short of race cars sprinkled through out the show floor. Here are some of my favorites.
