Company Overview:
Import Trenz was founded in 1999 by two entrepenurial bay area native, irvine (uci and ivc) students to provide external enhancements such as inexpensive body kits, hyper white bulbs, HID kits. And by word of mouth and industry contacts has become today one of the nations largest perveyers of inexpensive body kits, they are alligned w/ some of the best installers in the country and can refer and provide assistance for any purchaser and recomend bodyshops.

Today Import Trenz mostly focuses on wholesale sales of body kits and provide drop ship services for many shops thorughout the united states. They carry styles such as Bomex, Backyard special, black widow, combat, TRD widebody, Border, nismo, ITR metal conversion, andys autosport, octane, buddy club, and etc. And are the orginators of the mass produced S14 conversion for EK and EG6 civics and DC2 integras. Upcoming products are nissan s13 silvia mass produced front conversion, More JDM style stuff and s15 conversions for the s13/s14 240sx, civic, and integra.

Service: web service can be slow Import trenz has been undergoing a reorganization (moving locations ,hiring new staff, warcraft III). It takes them about 24hrs on a buisness day to respond and on weekends 48 hrs. They specialize in phone orders and if u call from 9-5 M-F someone will gladly help w/ ur retail or wholesale orders. Requirements for dealers is listed on site and there is a recomended buy-in.

Products: Fittament varries wildly, because import trenz is supplied from kit makers in both china and taiwan, japan, and makes their own kits. some of the china sourced kits are relatively poor quality, but import trenz's own line as seen in the sept issue of super street (s14 front integra) are reltively good quality, same w/ urathane kits that they have been marketing, they also carry BOMEX, Border, and TRD whose quality is very good. They also carry Apex-i and Greddy products on a special order service basis.

Overall: 6/10 kinda too ricey stuff for my taste but if ur into that kinda stuff good service huge selection.

The car in the the back ground of the first pick is xenon-kitted civic (UGLY). I want to mod my civic so yeah. And some of this stuff is "ricey". -_-. But I like civics. So yeah. Oh well.

if i had a FWD car like a civic i'd leave it pretty stock for body mods. i'd get a Type R (real) front lip and black housing headlights and be done w/ the outside. Suspension wise i'd get sum tein flex or HA units and get sum nice sway bars (st works fine), front strut tower bar, and 15x7 Spoon REW388 or Regamaster EVo (same wheel) w/ sum sticky 205/55ZR15 ruber!
