The market for aftermarket parts from Japan has been declining for well over five years, due in part to decreased demand both at home and abroad and the rising rates of Chinese knock-offs and other inexpensive (and dubiously built) components.

Today, one of the world's largest performance parts companies, known as Trust in Japan and Greddy here in the States, declared bankruptcy. According to various reports, Trust is approximately $60 million in debt and, after reporting a serious decline in sales since February 2008 and amassing $43 million in loan payments, filed for bankruptcy in Tokyo District Court.

Yea, Greddy is like standard JDM. That really sucks though, one of the great "tuner" companies is gone due to the ****ing Chinese and their nonexistant business ethics.

****ing Chinese and their nonexistant business ethics.

So damn true. At least their cars still can't lie to us.

Chinese car Brilliance said they don't feel this \/ will hurt sales in Europe.
