What HOT IMPORT NIGHTS Is Like In 2021 And How It Compares To The Old Days

When I told people I was going to a 'Hot Import Nights' show, they all had the same response: "That's still a thing?!" Yes. For those of you who may have thought that the world of underglow, enormous spoilers, and ornate tuner car engine decoration had disappeared completely, you've been missing out. HIN is alive and well, and it's still a great time. Here's a little walkthrough with some commentary about what one of these shows is like now and how it compares to import tuner events from the mid-2000s when this vibe was at its mainstream peak. The takeaway, besides the fact that HIN is clearly a lot more popular than it appears to be on social media, is that these extreme show cars occupy a unique niche in the automotive world. Some of them do have plenty of HP, but they're not really all about going fast or optimizing performance. They are a performance themselves. HIN cars are almost like caricatures, decorated and customized to extremes, showcases for creativity, ingenuity, and individuality. That right there is what makes this scene so cool. It's not like a classic car show where everybody's obsessed with conforming to period-correct this or authentic-OEM that, and it's not like a SEMA show where everything is just a rolling billboard trying to get you to buy stuff. HIN cars, at least most of the ones I saw, are built with love and artistic energy. And that is something I can be stoked to support. ••• I had considered applying for media credentials, but the list of requirements including complicated asks like "arriving at a certain time" and attending some kind of "meeting," which was just too much for my lizard brain to process. Jokes aside, I actually just wanted to chill out and enjoy the show without thinking about blogs but I saw so much cool stuff that I wanted to share that I just couldn't help but do a little Instagram story... That's how we ended up with this somewhat odd video tour format. It looks like it was beamed in from the outer reaches of the solar system because my video rig is a Doc Brownian hodgepodge of broken equipment previous employers threw in the garbage. We'll, uh, be working on that for future productions. All that said, I hope anyone who's interested in what a HIN show is like in 2021 has their curiosity satisfied. And for those who are unclear on the context of this vein of car culture, I do spend the first 90 seconds of the video laying down some background. —Andrew, Car Bibles Editor-In-Chief
