The Osaka Auto Messe, religiously held just after the Tokyo Auto Salon provides some sort of a second chance for car freaks from the other major side of Japan and the world to experience what the Japanese after-market industry has to offer. No introduction is needed on the scale and expectation of Japanese car events so let's just dive into the glorious pictures.
We'll be serving a four-part coverage on the Osaka Auto Messe 2011 showcasing the tricked-out hybrids, VIP MPVs, mad Euros and of course, the Japanese show girls.
This exclusive coverage is brought to you by Exotic Mods, based in Sunway Damansara, a well known entity in the Malaysian tuning industry specializing in performance and aesthetics for a wide array of European rides ranging from the latest engine flash remapping, body kits, wheels, suspension and the list goes on . Having just been around for the last 2 years, Exotic Mods have recently expanded their business and now offer a centralized, fitting area, paint booth, tyre mounting and wheel alignment services at their newly acquired venue.
Shedden Ee, the man behind Exotic Mods who has the European tuning vocab in his fingertips proudly presents the Osaka Auto Messe in his expert perspective.
