Put a JDM right-hand drive front clip in the showroom and have people just pick off whatever they want.

what the fuck. how about not stocking these cheap ass parts to force people to buy good quality parts so they arent broke down on the highway. no vinyl, no tail lights. performance electronics, real intakes like arc or comptech or j's. headers like bisimoto, headertech, or an-r. be a leader, if you follow the typical crap in shops, then dont expect to go very far because ricers know they can just goto advanced or pep boys.

Fat Nick, we already do all domestics, but are also trying to build a respectable shop that represents all car enthusiast.

I understand the idea of throwing a bunch of crappy shifters and tail lights out there to make a quick buck, but we want a respectable shop with respectable parts/cars/customers.

Keep the comments coming. I've seen some quality vehicles in both domestic and import flavors from members on this board and your opinion is valued.

Thanks

Wide variety of oil filters and fluids, cleaners etc. Bulbs of all types(real good markup) and other misc small items. Spark plugs, air filters and other maintenance items are also great for making money.

just my .02 on pulling quick dough...

you want a wide variety... sorta like STK CRX was saying. you cant please everyone, but if you have a little bit of something to at least interest everyone then you will have customers. have everything from Tein, spoon, to APC. even though you might think something like a shift knob or something is cheesy to sell or display, think of all those impulse buyers who might go that looks awsome, lets go for it. if you dont give them the chance to impulse buy as much as possible, then your gonna loose out on alot of money.
