Serious customization from the driving force behind the light truck boom

“Haro Supesaru” of Kyoto, Japan, is a leading figure in light truck customization. President Oda, who is well-known in the field of modification, is currently trying to open up a new genre of “old trucks” based on old light trucks. What we present here is a custom car that focuses on impact, transforming a light truck, a standard unique to Japan, from a supercar for farm roads into a super machine for public roads.

The “old tiger” is a customization based on an old light truck

The straightforward modification style produced by Kyoto’s “Haro Supesharu” has become a topic of conversation as it sticks out to the Showa generation. In recent years, due in part to the influence of YouTube and other media, the popularity of light trucks has skyrocketed as “there are many different and interesting styles,” but Haroro Spesharu is a store that has been promoting customization of light trucks only since before the current boom began, and their customization is always a step or two ahead of the world’s ideas and is always the talk of the town. Their customization is always a step or two ahead of the world’s ideas and has become a topic of conversation.

The gold Honda “Acti Truck” shown here was built as a show model with an emphasis on impact. Harosupesharu is currently promoting a new genre of “old trucks,” in which people can enjoy customization based on old light trucks.

The company specializes in Showa-style customization, and its body kits are a great match for old light trucks. President Oda is well-known for his love of old-fashioned, wildly eccentric modifications, and this is what gives Harrow-Spersal its identity.

The original body kit gives the car a street racer taste of yesteryear

The body style consisting of a chin spoiler, over fenders, and rear wing is the street racer taste of yesteryear. This style is said to be the origin of modified cars, and the goal was to give it a new shine by matching it to the old tiger.

The aero parts installed on this ACTY TRUCK are the “Bilikino Special” body kit, which is a Haro Suppesar original package. The body kit, which looks like a one-off production, is available for purchase and consists of a front bumper, rear bumper, wide fenders, rear blister fenders, and rear wing.

The exterior finish is so bizarre that one is surprised that this is a light truck, and its relentless, out-of-the-box customization has become a topic of conversation overseas as well. Light trucks are very popular in the U.S. right now, and the light truck customization culture that Haro Suppesar has created on its own is growing in popularity.

Harrow-Spesharu is the sparkplug for light truck customization, which has spread overseas as well as domestically. In the future, we are sure to see the birth of more never-before-seen custom cars with light trucks as their keyword.
