Default JPY - USD Rate change

Hey I just noticed there's a pretty significant rate change between JPY and the USD.... (Only over the last month or so)

Its gone up, or down. Idk but either way - very beneficial for us. I noticed because I've had my eye on these 5Zigen headers and from rhdjapan a few months a go, and the USD price was just over $1700. Today the price is under $1400. No change to the JPY price, it's just the exchange rate that's changed. Just an FYI for people looking for those JDM parts, now might be a good time to jump on them!!

(Notice the spike near the Apr '13 mark)

Hopefully this will result in an increase in sales of authentic parts

I remember reading a while back that Japan is trying to depreciate their currency for just that, to increase exports.

FYI, 370Ztune seems to think that this means they can jack up prices.
