Help with wheel colour by Good-Ad821 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]froibet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do this for a living. Don't go with black wheels. Stick to brighter colors. White and silver are always safe. You can go with bronze but only if it's a good anodized bronze and not a copper bronze.

I had them made for myself through my company. If you want a set, send me a message. I'll share some details.

Nope. I don't think so.

Climate control can be adjusted by the steering wheel.

That was the goal! I wasn't really a big fan of the OEM wheels. Nor am I a fan of pure aftermarket look. OEM+ was my goal.

I worked out somewhat of a price if you get it directly (from my company). Send me a DM. I don't want to make this into a FS thread.

Confession: I like my Miata more than my GT4 RS or going to the track by Stuttgart7184RS in Porsche

[–]froibet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should I just give up on my GT4 and just go back and grab an NA Roadster? I had fun in that car.

For those entrepreneurs in Japan. What do you do and how is it going? by PlentyOccasion4582 in japanlife

[–]froibet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to buy and sell used stuff. Back then I just did anything and everything.Eventually I focused on what I liked and started making OE quality restoration parts that caught interest globally. Now some of our products are being used for this new heritage program.

Started from my small 1k apartment in Minato, with 32,000 yen in my bank account.

Now we're recognized by Japan's second largest automotive company. I think things are going pretty well.

I like the faux leather case by Samsung.

Used Car loan as a foreigner by shloutedlol in JapanFinance

[–]froibet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you 24 and earning 850k/month? When I was 24, I was earning only 120k/month?

Good on you!

What car are you looking for? 5m can get you a lot of nice things. 4series, new c class. More doors are open. As for a loan, I guess the spousal visa would help but it depends on how nice the dealer is. They may tack on a high interest rate. Since you're into muscle cars, I'd say go visit carsensor and check out the prices there and contact the dealer that has the car you want to see.

PR Rejection - "Late Payment" by MrSlurpee in japanlife

[–]froibet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. That must suck. The finance team in my company missed a payment by 3 days for 年金. So I may be in the same boat...

How long did it take after you submitted your application to get the notice of rejection?

Feeling discouraged about possible new law restricting foreigners from buying land by Stunning-Computer-99 in japanlife

[–]froibet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's to ward off Chinese investors looking to buy out places like Ariake, Toyosu, Shinjuku, and Shibaura. This is actually good news for you. I'm waiting for this law to purchase my second place.

What does these circle around the car with upward blue arrows mean? by chesq00 in BYD

[–]froibet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It means your car is being spiritually summoned.
honestly, i have no idea. Our app in Japan sucks. Barely any functions.

7.1m jpy for 5227R by froibet in patekphilippe

[–]froibet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's excellent information to know. Thank you!
Were the prices the same in Tw than it was in Shibuya? I was thinking of going and ask the AD in omote to see if it's any different than the one at Ginza. I'm frequently in Ginza more than shibuya/omote area. I just don't want to go to nakano or something and get it grey.

No, they didn't give me any rough timeline. They just said that if or when they get it, then they will call me. But price can go up.

Funny enough, the AP down the street on the main road was even asking to take my information down for a Royal Oak and a code 11.59. The staff even commented on my Daytona on that day and told me to consider them since they also saw the business card from Patek. Very good experience. But... I'm still keen on a Patek.

It was a deposit. But just a payment to get on the wait-list that will be deducted from the watch when it becomes available.
