This event is usually home to aftermarket manufacturers showing off wild, customized vehicles and custom parts. Manufacturers have slowly started popping up, utilizing this as a platform to showcase the potential of their ho-hum passenger vehicles and debut new and exciting ideas for their more exciting offerings.

HONDA
Taking center stage is a Prelude Prototype fitted with aero parts from Mugen such as a lip, side skirt, and rear spoiler, showcasing Honda's upcoming hybrid sports coupe. This was first shown in concept form at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show.
