That sucks. HKS was head & shoulders better than the other JDM aftermarket companies. Great products & great service.

Wow. I just bought an HKS Sport exhaust (to replace the original HKS Sport exhaust that has rusted into oblivion) for my 1992 Sentra SE-R two weeks ago. I was surprised and happy to learn that they were still making parts for my 20 year old Sentra. I'm glad I ordered it when I did!

Sad that even they know the US dollar is weakening, yet Americans don't even know it, or what to acknowledge it. They thinks its all good and can't believe the government wants to take away all of their entitlements like medicare.

HKS was a great company. Their US branch will be missed.

I know it. Salaries in my field haven't changed in 10 years. That is fine with me if I can have fuel @ $1.50 for premium like I paid back then

Poor aftermarket? I think it has to do more with local companies now making quality stuff thereby taking the market away from HKS. We now have some things that are actually better quality for a bit cheaper now in the states. As of the last decade or so, the HKS brand dialed back on quality on a lot of their parts, and sold pretty much off name brand recognition. Had they continued to make high quality products across the board, they'd probably be fine.

i disagree with this. Blue should be the largest portion of the pie by far. I don't think 90% of offenders even know that "they're" and "their" exists!
