Gillman Subaru’s Hot Import Nights presented by Valvoline returned to Houston, Texas, with a sold-out event of 14,024 in attendance at NRG Center on Saturday, December 10th.

The final car competition of HIN’s 2016 year featured 306 vehicles - the top vehicles and car teams, who showed up in full force. Javier Rodriguez took home the Best of Show award with his impressive Infinity G35 and Ducky Tysdal took home the Hottest Performance Award presented by Valvoline with his 1,230-whp twin-turbo LS-swapped Genesis. The Suicide Stage filled the massive hall with electrifying visuals, DJ battles by DJ Pri Yon Joni, BabyBoi, and Kidstylez, plus live performances by Jargon featuring Mhaye Monti. Creating the good vibes throughout the night was thanks to Taylor White, Vicki Lee, Shelby James and Jeri Lee. #pasmag
