The automotive industry in Japan is one of the most prominent and largest industries in the world. Japan has been in the top three of the countries with most cars manufactured since the 1960s, surpassing Germany. Japanese car culture is unique and exciting as the country is the birthplace of car manufacturers like Honda, Subaru, Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, and Mitsubishi. These companies have competed with each other for decades, pushing performance boundaries and developing new technologies. This resulted in the production of some of the most iconic vehicles – the Supra, Skyline and the RX-7. The history of exterior car accessories in Japan dates back to the early 1960s when the car culture began to take off. During this time, Japanese car enthusiasts were looking for ways to customize their vehicles and make them stand out from the crowd. One of the first and most popular exterior car accessories in Japan was the "spinner" hubcap. These hubcaps featured a spinning center cap that would rotate while the car was in motion, creating a visual effect that was popular among car enthusiasts. Today, the market for exterior car accessories in Japan is still thriving, with a wide variety of products available for car enthusiasts to customize their vehicles. From carbon fiber hoods and fender flares to LED lighting and custom paint jobs, the options for customizing a car's exterior are nearly endless.

Car enthusiasts in Japan often add a variety of exterior accessories to their vehicles, ranging from spoilers and body kits to custom paint jobs and decals. Many of these accessories are designed to improve the appearance of the vehicle and make it stand out from the crowd.

Overall, exterior car accessories are a popular and significant part of the automotive culture in Japan, and many people enjoy customizing their vehicles with a wide variety of accessories.

In Japan, body kits have become a popular way to customize the appearance of a vehicle. These kits typically include front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and a rear spoiler. They are available in a wide range of styles and designs, and many Japanese car enthusiasts choose body kits that give their vehicles a more aggressive and sporty look.

Some popular styles include mesh, split-spoke, and deep dish wheels. Further, LED lighting for car is emerging across the country. Many Japanese car enthusiasts install LED lights under the car or in the wheel wells to create a unique and eye-catching look. Decals and vinyl wraps are a also popular way to add graphics and designs to a vehicle. Many Japanese car enthusiasts choose decals and vinyl wraps that reflect their interests or personalities, such as anime characters, sports teams, or graphic designs. However, spoilers are becoming a great choice in Japan to improve the aerodynamics of a vehicle and give it a more sporty appearance. Many Japanese car enthusiasts choose spoilers that are large and aggressive, and that complement the other exterior accessories on their vehicles. Among the accessories type, body kit segment is leading the market in 2022. Some of the major manufactures for exterior car accessories in Japan include Top Secret, Varis, Mugen, TOM’S and TRD.

The Japanese government has regulations in place for exterior car accessories to ensure that they are safe and comply with environmental and traffic laws. The regulations apply to both domestically manufactured and imported accessories. One of the primary regulations in Japan is the Automobile Inspection and Registration Act. This law requires that all vehicles and their accessories pass a safety inspection before they can be registered and driven on public roads. The inspection covers various safety aspects of the vehicle, including the brakes, suspension, and tires. In addition to safety regulations, the Japanese government has also introduced environmental regulations in recent years. These regulations aim to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency, and they apply to both vehicles and their accessories. For example, the government has set limits on the amount of carbon dioxide that can be emitted by new vehicles, and they have introduced fuel efficiency standards for new cars. However, Japan is known for its innovative automotive technology, particularly in the area of hybrid and electric vehicles. Toyota, in particular, has been a leader in hybrid technology with its popular Prius model. Further, the market is segmented into two major distribution channels including OEM and aftermarket. Among them, aftermarket is leading in 2022.
