So how many of you all think Nopi has what it takes to become "popular" again?

Wow I didn't even think NOPI was still around and in business. I went to check out their page and seems they're still using the exact same webpage design that they had when I was looking at their stuff probably 8 to 10 years ago.

^^^ Which is part of what I was getting at. They need a rebranding...which clearly depends on their financial situation. I don't feel that simply going to meets and just handing out fliers is going to be the solution. Maybe partnering with some of the big name organizations would help...like Stance Nation, ImportAlliance, SouthrnFresh and whatnot. Partner with those names and modernize the image? Though I just went to their website and was surprised to see the amount of stuff they list for my car and their prices. Site still feels old though. After spending more time looking through their stuff, I can say that I could have actually have used them for several things I have needed recently, but I decided to go with Miata-specific venders because I didn't even think about NOPI having some parts for my car.

Mike- I know such shops are on a different level compared to NOPI, but the buisness model can be followed. Get a good name out there and the rest follows. People are willing to spend if they know it's worth their hard earned money. I know a lot of what I am saying is common sense, but I feel a lot of people might not really thing about such simple things. Yes, I agree that it probably is easier for a shop to focus in on a specific car/brand vs a broad spectrum of brands.




Sin- People with your opinion might be the most beneficial to this discussion. Clearly that is your impression, but why? Was it price? Parts selection? Availability? It's discussing the problems and impressions that lead to improvement.

**Disclaimer- I am not affiliated with NOPI by any means. I feel bad for them and how the scene has left them behind. I have a lot of fun memories of killing multiple weekends at their events. I am here to just have a good, level-headed discussion about a local buisness.
