LOL, thanks for the support Doushark!!
We're actually based out of Tokyo now, hence why most of our orders are handled via e-mail. We're actually partnered up with a few shops here, have all the required licenses and what not Japan/Tokyo requires (and there are alot) We take payment via credit card (US) so if you have any doubts about our credibility, it's not like you're handing some guy cash on the street corner. Yeah, Yuri is a friend and one of our past customers. (why his car is on the top of the site)
Anyhow, we've sold to quite a few zilvia members in the past and where we used to do refinishing and meet with local customers in person, being in Tokyo, this is not possible anymore. We are now doing refinishing and packing here in Tokyo, then send our inventory to a warehousing facility in LA where they can be picked up or shipped. Keeps prices low and things as speedy as possible.

(Apache Racing is our original name branding for a few other projects we're working on)
....and sorry, no chubby latina chicks =(
