The Hot Import Nights 2005 Show Series concluded on the exotic Hawaiian Island of Oahu at the Honolulu Blaisdell Convention Center. This was the first time the Hot Import Nights Show series made a visit to Honolulu and as the name implies; the show was open to the public only at night, from 5p.m. to midnight. The show was full of all kinds of imports and sport compact cars as well as a few trucks!

Entertainment at the show included Moonshine Record's DJ MISS LISA on the Mazda Electronic Music Stage with the Hot Import Nights' Glo-Go dancers. On the Pepsi Street Motion Stage, DJ Lady Tribe spinned hip-hop music to the crowd along with a few local DJs. Also, performing throughout the night, were local and national artists in the urban community, including dance troupes, and DJs who were competing for the Pepsi trophy.

We must not forget the most important part of the show. the spectators! After our photographer, Daniel, had left shortly after 10 p.m., he stated, ".there was still a large line to get into the convention center... the place was packed!" There is no doubt the Hot Import Nights show was a hit in Hawaii and will continue to be in the future.
