Crystal is a chain of auto parts stores, a melding of Pep Boys--eerrrr, make that Super Autobacs--and the "Recycler." It has loads of used and refurbished performance parts under one roof and for JDM purists, it's pure heaven. We checked it out after the Tokyo Auto Salon in 2003 and were rocked by the deals that went down. When you think about it, there's a vast and logical source of used parts in Japan. Considering the short shelf life of cars in Japan, it makes sense for enthusiasts to strip them to stock before parting ways, and Crystal is an outlet to get some money back on that performance purchase.
