Tokyo Auto Salon, one of the biggest motor shows in the world, is coming back to Makuhari Messe and will showcase modified and tuned cars. Think MTV’s Pimp My Ride, but more luxurious.The event isn’t exactly cheapo (1,800 yen in advance, 2,200 yen at the door), but it’s a must-see if you’re really into cars/things you’ll never be able to afford. This year will be the biggest in the salon’s history with over 300,000 visitors expected. And yes, there will be booth babes.
Flower power! The women and children loved this idea.
Toyota Gazoo Racing had a very large display showing real race-cars with real bugs, rocks, chips and other bits on the front.
A bit of a theme - a lot of cars had Liberty Walk or Tra Kyoto body pieces. 
Cute bosozoku styled k-cars.
Sparkly (insert your emoji here)
Customize your Prius. This was just one a several so it seems to be a popular thing to do.
Vanny style can be high or more commonly - very low.
If you have to deliver something, might as well do it in style.
Shakotan VIP. Super low luxury sedan. Do a video search to see these in action.
A mild version of bosozoku.
RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF Porsche tuner.
This GTR was a show stopper with its custom gold paint - not decals!
