The Los Angeles Hot Import Nights brought a record crowd this year, which was also the 10th anniversary show for the company. With an estimated crowd of over 20,000 people for the show, HIN did not disappoint. With over 600 cars competing for cash and trophies and more than a hundred models to whet our appetites, it was crazier than a barrel full of monkeys.
The Game put on a great show at the HIN Main Stage. He had a large crowd for his performance, as you would expect. Some lucky fans even had a chance to dance up on stage with The Game during the last song of his show. DJ Yoshi entertained the crowd over at the boostmobile Urban Stage along with the rest of the boostmobile crew. There were live bands, b-boy contests and emcee battles to the death (well, not quite, but you get the picture).
Miss HIN 2008 Bianca Smith made her second appearance since being crowned in San Mateo 2 weeks ago. The Naughty NOS Girls, Corissa Furr and Alicia Whitten, were also there signing copies of Import Tuner of which they were the cover models for the April and May issues (respectively). Many more models could be found at the NOS Model Central along with several fashion shows hosted by Capristan Fashion.
