It's starting to happen, aftermarket-shops are going to be booming again with the release of three of Japan's most famous monsters, the mighty Nissan Godzilla GTR-35, Subaru's STI's version of the WRX and the Mitsubishi EVO X.
Some of these Modders/Tuners will definitely go bonkers over their workmanship while others will be as subtle as the production versions.
With the GTR-35, I think it'll be hard to overdo from the base model as it's already very well designed and made by the guys at Nissan. Probably a few minor bodywork and internal detailing.
The STI and EVO are different animals altogether, especially with the Subaru, it will be a good testbed to wildly go with the body add-ons and the mech stuff, same with the EVO but not as much.

The R35 GT-R being tiwn turboed, I believe we'll see the Tsukuba lap record go down in the near future...or maybe the Evo X will beat the Evo 9 (by HKS).

I agree with previous commenter. I personally favour confident sutlety. Japan is interesting in that it has a history of refined zen like design, and yet also the source of the the most gaudy over-the-top car mods of any country.
