Why limit to jdm.

Beetles
Camper
Classic 50s and 60s sportscars... The enamel pin ties nicely
Classic le man cars
Classic F1.
What about driver numbers
Helmet designs.

Also do a how to thread - curious as to where you'd even start.

Great business idea op.

ETA... Old trains and aircraft.
Thanks for the suggestions, a cartoonified F-14 would be wicked! Infact so many of your suggestions are cool!

Why stick to JDM?..at the moment it is a hobby and I have a particular interest in JDM cars, I'm also trying to build a core "fanbase" before diversifying.

The 350z isn't a bad suggestion at all!

How about an S2000 - decent number around and has an active ownership scene. Has the advantage that it never really changed shape (different wheels tho) in the 10 year of it's life.

Cool, looks like only that Evo one available at present? Let us know when you do some more and I'll get myself a set of the various designs

That's correct, I will have the Celica GT-Four today and incoming I have an R32 GTR, Tommi Makinen Evo6 in a couple of weeks.

Next up designs are the R34-GTR and a Impreza Type-R.

VW Golf MK5, Toyota Supra & Silvia S15 in the pipeline.

As I mentioned it's a hobby and I only have so much time and money to invest into it smile for what it is worth the shipping is buttons even internationally 2gbp smile

Thankyou everyone who has contributed so far! Every post has been useful to me.

No worries, I'll buy that and the Evo tomorrow, then.

For my part, I'll take an AE86 Trueno (white and black, naturally), and a red Suzuki Cappuccino if those end up on your list.

The corolla does seem to have a big following because of Japanese culture. I bet it would look cool too. The Cappuccino might be a bit niche I think though.

Yeah, the Trueno, it's the whole Initial D and drift scene thing, that's why they're so painfully expensive now!

The Cappo is just because I've got one really

They look great. I will definitely be ordering some in future. Closest I’ll ever get to the real deal laugh

Definitely Initial D inspired Trueno would be good. Think you said above but S15, S13, any s-body really! Kei cars seem to have a following, Honda S660 etc... and maybe Forester STI?

It's a very niche market, but I know a lot of people running Datsuns in historic rallying.
Think 1600, Stanza : boxy early 70's cars with lots of spotlights.

Also you should do a 240z maybe.
