Default Hypothetically......

If you were going into retail sales and wanted to stock import parts, what would you put on the shelves? In other words, what import parts move the best and are in demand?

Get in all your basic bolt-ons. Rims, suspension, and stereos. Why imports and not domestics?

Cheap intakes like vibrant UNIVERSAL mufflers clear lenses altezzas headers for the popular cars you seen being modded. Shift knobs shift boots air filters just the cheap cheasy stuff to have on the walls...that way it will be easier to move and you can always order the better brands if someone wants it. As far as suspension goes a set of tein springs for 92-95 civics just to advertise you can get tein and a cheaper set of springs such as Eibach or Skunk2 coil overs for the same 92-95 civics. I would also reccomend that you get some high end stuff also such as a turbo kit or No2 kit and maybe an intake manifold and turbo manifold just to show you can get the high performance stuff also.

i guess it depends on if youre in it for money or to have a respectable store/shop. i mean the less altezzas the better, but if ya wanna make money, ya gotta throw it out there.
