    Default Do you guys ever think the import scene is ending?

    I know i will probably get flamed for this. And I thought this way before the economy started to tank. but do you guys honestly think the import scene is comeing to a end? I got in to imports working at a local body shop in high school around 2000 back when the body kits and shows were still the big thing!
    Yes i know most you you guys dont like kits as much as i hated instaling them but that is not the point i am getting at, its the attude that they had, they all seamed to have a positive attatude and did not mind spending the money for quality work and the guys that used them for dailys always came the get the front bumpers re sprayed before big shows. and did not mind spending a little cash to do so. and yes a lot of those guys were around 17+ in age.
    But now looking throught the car pics section i feel like some of the guys in the scene now are kinda responsable for the import scene demise. with all the threads like "OMG" i primered my 240/civic i am so jdm now! and LOOK I SPRAY PAINTED MY STEELIES SOME OFF THE WALL COLOR IAM A JDM GOD! OR MY DE RICE THREAd and have done noting put flat black the car and spray painted the wheels lime green or some other crazy jdm color. back in the day there were sponsored rides and big money shows other that the one nopi show. but i feel alot of the big huge sponsors feel like there is no money to be made and that the import thing is comeing to a end! does any one else feel the same way?
