My hope is that they sell AND stock as many true Japanese aftermarket parts as possible. I know that's a lot to ask, but hey, why not go for broke!!
And by establishing themselves in the U.S., maybe they'll become a presence at events and races over here.
BTW, speaking of Autobacs,......
Wow... I'm really busy on Saturdays... and Sundays usually aren't good either... but it will have to do!
Make it on Sunday... in the afternoon. =)

This July, Japan's leading auto accessories chain, Autobacs, will open it's first store in Stanton,California, thanks to the efforts of Jed Bohn, Bob Boyle, Jesse Deyden, Carrie Russell and KathyTombor. The initial store is serving as Autobacs' test market. If the Stanton Autobacs performs well, theyplan to infiltrate Orange County with twelve more stores and then expand throughout the United States.Thus, presenting Snyder Langston with the potential opportunity to construct these additional stores.
The Autobacs store encompasses 43,500 square feet and includes 4,300 square feet of office space, tohouse Autobac's North American corporate headquarters. Autobacs caters to individuals looking forunique, high end car accessories, such as custom wheels, tires, car audio, car navigation systems andinterior accessories. For customer convenience, the store contains an onsite garage with pit services.This enables customers to have their accessories installed at the time of purchase. Patrons will also beable to view the installation process from a 100-foot catwalk, which is attached to the mezzanine wait-ing area. A conference room on the mezzanine level will serve as a meeting room for car clubs and befurnished with automobile memorabilia.
IRVINE, CA - Snyder Langston, one of Orange County's oldest builders of commercial real estate, has begun demolition of a former movie theater that is being reconstructed as a high-end automotive shop for Tokyo, Japan-based Autobacs Seven Co., Ltd. Located in Stanton at 12669 Beach Boulevard, the project has a total construction cost of approximately $4.5 million. Upon completion, which is slated for July 2003, Autobacs will be a one-story building with mezzanine totaling 43,584 square feet.
Snyder Langston began this project last year by demolishing large portions of the existing building. This included removing the façade of the building, masonry-bearing walls and other theater elements such as countertops, stairwells, restrooms and sloped floors, according to Snyder Langston Project Executive Karl Kreutziger.
The firm is now reconstructing the building to the specifications designed by architects Monighan & Associates of Sacramento. "Currently, we are shoring up the existing roof structure and re-supporting the building with new steel and wood members in the roof," says Kreutziger. "Our next step is to make the ground level by filling in the sloped areas that were previously seating."
At completion, Autobacs will provide automotive goods, parts and tools. The specialty shop will also have a garage with pit services, including installation of custom car-audio equipment, wheels and tires, and aftermarket goods. Customers will be able to sit in a mezzanine waiting area that will include televisions, accessories, and a 100-foot catwalk so they can watch technicians work on vehicles.
Snyder Langston will transform the painted block exterior into new tower entries; a series of up lit, colored-glass and neon signage. The sides of the building are to remain unchanged, but will receive a fresh coat of paint.
In addition to the re-construction, Snyder Langston will be adding 4,300 square feet of office space to the rear of the building.
According to Autobacs Seven Co., Ltd. officials, the reconstructed building is part of a large expansion. The new Stanton location marks the first in North America. Established in 1948 and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, the company has approximately 500 stores with locations in Japan, Europe, Thailand and France.
In addition to construction services, Snyder Langston is providing budget and schedule management, logistics planning and estimating for this project. The firm has completed design-build services on the mechanical, engineering, and plumbing systems; lifecycle analysis; and electrical systems analysis. According to Kreutziger, alterations made due to recommendations from Snyder Langston regarding these systems will result in a reduction in future operating costs for the client.

I'm down . . just call it!
Well it looks like there is a unanimous vote to have the meetings. Has a place and a time been confirmed? Is this going to be an ongoing monthly thing we can put on our calenders? Or is it going to remain random? It would be nice to be able to plan ahead - yes? 
i would vote for an ongoing every month............however, we need to determine our new location. the last location we had is kind of ^&*^^*&(&--we don't know when they open or close. sometime, the would close when they should open.....so any suggestion on location?
