VERTEX

---

Founded on October 10, 1996, Car Make T&E emerged in Japan’s automotive performance scene with a philosophy rooted in “Technical” and “Elegant” design. Under the leadership of Takahiro Ueno, the company overcame early challenges that sharpened his expertise and refined his vision. Ueno’s body kits are inspired by factory lines, blending simplicity with aggression to enhance a vehicle’s original form without overwhelming it. His designs are known for their subtlety and distinctiveness, standing apart while remaining true to the car’s essence.
Driven by a deep passion for street racing, Ueno channels his love for Toyota Soarers and competitive driving into every product, most notably showcased through his participation in D1GP with the iconic Vertex Soarer. Car Make T&E and its North American partner, Vertex USA, are committed to authenticity, rejecting imitation parts and championing original craftsmanship. Their mission is to deliver high-quality components that reflect the spirit of tuning—where discipline, originality, and passion converge.
