        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 Kustomfest 2026 is creating an opportunity for\nIndonesian builders to demonstrate their capabilities overseas through\nits Indonesian Attack programme, which will take them to the Yokohama\nHot Rod Custom Show 2026 in Japan in early December.<\/p>\n<p>Running since 2017, the programme has provided a route for local\nbuilders to introduce their custom work to the international custom\ncommunity. This year, some of the best entries at Kustomfest will have\nthe chance to appear at the event, which is being held for the 34th\ntime.<\/p>\n<p>Kustomfest director Lulut Wahyudi said Indonesia\u2019s custom industry\nwas facing challenges from a sluggish economy and the arrival of\nmass-produced custom components from China. These conditions could put\npressure on small-scale businesses that rely on creativity, skills and\ndistinctive production.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Indonesian Attack, Kustomfest will feature the Kustom Bike\nShow and Hot Rod &amp; Kustom Car Show, showcasing selected\nvehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors will also be able to watch flat-track competitions, helmet\ncustomisation, vehicle painting and various community activities.<\/p>\n<p>Amid market competition, the opportunity to exhibit in Japan is one\nway of introducing local builders\u2019 capabilities to an international\naudience.<\/p>\n<p>The next challenge, however, is to ensure businesses remain\nsustainable and expand their markets so that this creativity can grow\ninto an industrial strength.<\/p>\n<p>Now in its 15th year, the festival brings together builders,\ncommunities and creative industry players producing a range of goods,\nfrom vehicle components to high-quality apparel.<\/p>",
