Turned on by the arrival of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Subaru Impreza WRX STi to North America, a team of technology savvy, performance enthusiasts started http://Kingofimports.com to sell rare, JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) performance parts and accessories to JDM fanatics all over the world.
After a year, we noticed that the performance market began to change. Initially, more manufacturers appeared in the market and existing manufacturers expanded their product lines. Leading-edge vendors mounted aggressive campaigns to win over the business of the import tuner crowd by focusing more on customer service and consolidating the brands offered over their websites. While both vendors and manufacturers grew their businesses, new websites popped up daily and stories of vendors scamming customers frequently appeared on a variety of Internet forums. Clearly, the enthusiast market was changing rapidly, making it more difficult for enthusiasts to find stable and reliable vendors and manufacturers to purchase from over the Internet.
Today, enthusiasts are frustrated by the fact that they must visit tens or even hundreds of different websites to learn about the latest performance products and accessories available for their specific vehicles. We have spun off the JDM import/export business and are concentrating our resources to solve this problem. By partnering with leading manufacturers and vendors we can better serve automotive enthusiasts that want to know about every part made for their vehicle. The newly created company will provide one of the largest online catalogs available on the Internet for enthusiasts to browse at their leisure.
At any time, an enthusiast can browse an organized, user-friendly database of products to see what is currently offered for their individual vehicles. When the enthusiast finds a product that interests them, he or she can click through to the specific web page of any manufacturer or list of vendors selling the particular product. By directly linking products advertised on the http://Kingofimports.com website with the online shopping carts of those manufacturers or vendors selling such products, enthusiasts will enjoy spending more of their time communicating with fellow enthusiasts on their favorite forums and waste less time going from one random website to another.
