Default HIN 4/23 @ Charlotte Merchandise Mart

Charlotte Hot Import Nights is in a couple of months!



If you have a reasonably modified Lexus please consider entering - they want at least wheels and a bodykit. We need to have at least SIX Lexus cars in the show to qualify.

Main Website
http://www.hotimportnights.com/

FAQs
http://www.hotimportnights.com/faq.asp

Tour Calendar
http://www.hotimportnights.com/calendar.asp

Registration
https://www.overboost.com/tickets_show.asp?id=1710

I've worked with the HIN folks to set up discount tickets for the Lexus crowd for both spectators and those entering vehicles. Use the following coupon discount codes when you register online:

Lexustix - $3 off individual entry ($25) for spectators

lexuscar - $5 off car registration ($55) which includes entry for two people

Here are a couple of pics from last year's HIN Charlotte, cars vary from mild to wild:





More of my pics here so you know what to expect:

So far:
1) DaveGS4 - registered
2) IS300Trace
3) Tigerle (Thao)

The longer you wait to sign up, the more likely it is that the show will fill up and you will have to 'petition' to get your car into the show (send pictures and mod sheets in, etc). I suggest if you're considering doing this that you sign up soon!

Justin, you came to our meet at the Quaker Steak, right? IMO you should definitely enter your IS in this show, its a great looking car! You're welcome to do some pre-show detailing over at my place on Friday late morning if that's part of the issue with bringing it.

Yes I was there on that cold day in Oct lol. I really thought about putting it in HIN but my car needs to much time and money to get it back on the road. The trunk is in 1,000 pieces from where I started to dynomat it and my tires are shot. Now with school coming to the end I just havn't had the time to get it back together or to order new tires and things. Maybe I'll just blow up some Pictures that I have and set them on some stands and see if I can win that way lol. My goal is to be ready for the Dragon I've wanted to go the past few times but things come up and, most DEF this summer for the Lexus meet. Thanks for the offer though Dave. Hopefully I'll be there by dinner time on friday so if anything is going on then till sunday afternoon I'll def be down for that.

Look forward to seeing the NC Crew again

Justin

PS. If you havn't already run it by the guys with the GS's at Hendrick sure they will come or show.

Hey guys, new to the Lexus scene.. just bought my first a couple of weeks ago. I bought 95blacksc's car (has a dent in the rear driver's quarter) to play with, so needless to say, it's not quite ready for show... hopefully by end of summer I'll at least have the body work done to show at nopi. Anyhow, would love to meet up with anyone going if anyone's interested. Later guys!

Congrats on the car Dave, hope to see you there. You're the second local guy to have a Probe then GS (TomTNC has a GS now, if you frequent Probe forums for a while). One of my car stereo guys (Brad at Tweeter) is also into Probe / MX stuff.

That would be awesome I'd love to see your car in person (even if it means me losing any chance of winning anything at the show, lol ), if you are going to show please let me know so we can try to hook up and roll in together if all the guys are Lexus. If they're your J crew, understand you'd want to park with them.

==============================
FOLKS COMING AS SPECTATORS,

If you don't have your tickets already, please PM me your full name so I can try to do something special for you on getting in.
