When it comes to aftermarket add-ons and engine tuning, the Japanese have been there, done it and bought the t-shirt. We take a look around the prestigious Tokyo Auto Salon (東京オートサロン), held every January at the Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex in Tokyo, Japan. This event is now very much an international showcase for Japanese tuning companies. This year marked 27 years of the show, organised by the Tokyo Auto Salon Association (TASA).

The Tokyo Auto Salon’s popularity has gone from strength to strength, which has seen the show grow from 8 to 11 halls at the Makuhari Messe in 2017. Check out our gallery of amazing metal on show this year. The Tokyo Auto Salon – representing Japan’s modified car culture since 1990. We approve!!
