I'm coming from a state with over 14 shops and I realy hope KCMO has atleast one. I'm strickly into JDM honda and autocrossing. Please let me know what the scene is out there. Thanks.

yes, definitely a great import scene...
best shops= KC Trends for wheels, tires and some performance... Nu-Image Auto Salon for performance...

Also:
Tokyo Image Motorsports
and a handful more...

Hit up our club site at www.groupone.org and you'll find a lot of info about the KC Import Scene... we've got shop lists and reviews, plus events schedules...

Thanks, I apprieciate the reply.
So in your car click (Groupone) is there any love for all performance JDM/Drift style imports or is it only for cars with body graphics and huge weels?

actually GroupOne Motor Club is based on a concept of being able to cover all the bases that we have been approached by. we are nothing like a "high school banner and wheels club"... we run our sheitt like a business through organization and planning. Most of the members are in their mid-to-upper-20s and we are in the process of updating our site to reflect all of the different angles that we've accomplished or are working on.

We definitely have a strong base for out Show Team... our "huge wheels and body graphics" team as you so eloquently put it. we are now about 10 members strong and about to grow again. each Show Team member is excelling toward a magazine ready status by the beginning of next year.

We have also started a foundation for our Speed Team, which will encompass all of the different concepts of speed, but mostly focusing on 1/4 mile track as well as motorcross. We are focusing on these aspects because we have been approached with enough outside interest to get it going. As far as on the forum, there are a lot of perfomance-minded individuals that would love to talk all day long about JDM and performance mods. i however am not one of then... I'm all SHOW.

We also have a budding Sound Team that focuses mainly on SPL and Sound Quality. we have a couple of trophy winning sound systems now and will be be doubling by end of summer.

Then there's also the newly approaching Bike Team as well as the Truck Team. Again, we have opted to expand in these separate directions because we've had a lot of people approach us and ask us if we would start one.

anyway, this post is long enough. hopefully this will help squash your preconceived notions about G1 or at least answer some questions that you may have formed about our crew. the only thing i can say is find out for yourself what we're made of and then go from there. later!

Thanks for the reply.
I'm glad to see that there are some real gear heads in your group.
I have seen the TX branch at races and shows all the way out here in Colorado they are very big and I don't dout that it could go national!
You made a comment that you where "all show" but realy there is no such thing. In order to have a trophy winning show car the ride must encompus mods both inside and out. you have to have a lot of engine mods and your own custom fabrication to win a real show contest. The car must virtualy have nothing stock.
Just like a performance minded car does not look stock just in a more functional way. I.E. suspension and brace bars, ram air and intercoolers, performance wheels and lip kits for added aerodynamics and so on.
You guys have a very diverse and BIG group, I'm looking foward to moving to KC this summer and doig some racing!!

cool cool man, it's good to hear that you've got some knowledge on the subject of show and race. usually when i'm out and ppl ask me what's under the hood all i have to do is say that it's all SHOW and that shuts them up... but you're very right, in order to win at a show you must have all areas of the car covered, not just the interior/exterior.

as far as me, now that the outside is approaching a resting point i am going to start on the engine/performance... gotta be well-rounded!

look forward to meeting you when you hit KC - expect to see you stop in on us! later!

No dout, gotta be well rounded.
I have a question I can't seem to find online, How high is Kansas City from sea leval? I know it has to be a lot lower than out here in the old mile high. Also, where is the closest strip from the KC metro area?
I also was wondering whats the fastest Honda in G1 KC?

Hey guys I'm new to this site. It is great to see so many honda guys in KC. Anyway I have a black 93 accord 2dr ex with a few minor mods: Intake,Header,Exhaust, Clutch, Short-shifter and sway bar to name a few. I'm also in south KC near redbridge it would be cool to meet up sometime. This Sunday at Hooters at 2pm a few guys are meeting up from another board and then we are driving to the car show at crown center. I just signed up for the group so talk to you later!

Hey, I don't know if anyone has mentioned thi already but does anybody know good shops around the kansas city metro area that carries accessories and parts for Honda accords? I heard that KC Trends is pretty good. I'm thinking of getting tail/clea-corner/bumper lights for my accord. So are there other shops similar to KC Trends ? Thanks in advance!

there are a few other shots, tokyo image motorsports, executive motors, and umm.. thats what i can think off of the top of my head

Read a few of the posts at the beginning of this thread but not all 8 pages. Was wondering if GroupOne ended up branching into KC from TX or not.

I haven't modified too many things on my car yet, but am intending to as soon as the cash flow starts again. How active is the GroupOne scene here?

.. Also, read someone's post about the cops handing out $100 tickets at Kicks last year just for "driving through." This still true? I go through there a lot and only had a little trouble for lighting, but nothing too serious.

Let me know. And get at me. I'm looking to get more serious with my car.
