I'm Logo For These Hats
The holiday season is upon us. (I know, you're reading this in November, but if you look at the spine, this is the December issue. Besides, I already saw light-up reindeer at Costco.) You can't go wrong this holiday season when you ask for Import Tuner attire. Represent! Our beanies and hats will hide your I-didn't-feel-like-using-gel-today hair and get you noticed by the ladies. Plus, you can't beat our stylish logo. They make great stocking stuffers (not to mention Hanukah and Kwanzaa gifts). Our beanies and hats are made by Aquarius and are available in major retail stores. So remember, Santa Claus is making a list and checking it twice, so you better be naughty (oops, I mean nice).

We Like 'Em Smooth
Unless you're French-in which case we pity you-you like your women hairless and smooth. I mean, we grew up on a healthy diet of Nair commercials. (Who wears short shorts?) Therefore it makes perfect sense this obsession would spill over into our cars. That's where AutoLc comes in. They've added the six-channel, 75-lb remote shaved door handle kit to their lineup. True tuners will realize that this product is a must for any custom ride. The heart of the system is the 75-lb solenoid. Its supporting cast includes: a 6-function computerized remote control system with two long-range remotes, a self-grounding bracket, a 10-gauge wire, two interior buttons, three heavy-duty 40-amp relays, 2x retention springs, code rolling technology and detailed instructions-thanks goodness for those, because that's a mouthful of parts that I have no idea what to do with. The product is backed by a limited-lifetime warranty. Order yours at www.autoloc.com and you'll be on the path to smoothness.

Put A Little Spring In Your Step
The county that gave us Hefeweizen, du hast meich, and Wienerschnitzel does it again. Those of you who answered France need to pay more attention in social studies and stay off of "Jeopardy." Germany is the right answer, my friend. H&R brings us precision, German-engineered springs and coil-overs. We all know good springs are the key to the suspension system. They support the weight of the chassis and smooth out irregular road conditions. (I don't know about you, but sometimes I like a rough ride.) Anyway, the springs come in two varieties: sport and racing. The sport springs will drop your car 1.5 to 2 inches and will improve handling-especially if you take turns a bit too fast. The sports springs are great and all-especially if they're going on your mommy-mobile-but we recommend the racing springs. These babies drop your car 1.75 to 2.5 inches for a sweet look and come with high-quality, sport-tuned shock absorbers. The coil-overs help you turn on a dime, and provide a more-aggressive look. All of the springs meet or exceed ISO 9001 quality-assurance standards and won't sag, fatigue or lose their coating. We think it's because of the German engineering.
