Location: Whittier, CA

The most stable structures are those built on strong foundations and, although this company is still in its infancy, owner Marco Arias has built KRIZN Industries on over a decade of industry knowledge and experience.  With 23 Hondas of his own, you can be sure he knows his way around a car.

Arias began his automotive journey in a small family-run shop.  He continued his development as a Honda certified master technician, later leaving his mark on familiar so-cal companies such as Password JDM, Skunk2, and Streetlightz distribution.  His experience and connections make KRIZN Industries a force to be reckoned with; and his intimate knowledge of Hondas will have you coming back for performance tuning, advice, and (if he can find the time) a friendly, Honda-inspired chat.

Never heard the name KRIZN before?  If so, you can consider yourself a part of the majority.  The KRIZN name has only been around for about a year, focusing on e-commerce based sales.  Arias is simply taking things to the next level by opening an automotive tuning shop in Whittier, California.  KRIZN isn’t for your average Honda-head, but if you are serious about track times and performance tuning Arias is the guy to see.

The KRIZN name aside, you may be wondering where you have heard the name Marco Arias before.  If you haven’t “googled” the name yet, his JDM 1991 CRX SiR was recently featured in Honda Tuning Magazine.  Don’t be fooled by the pretty “rex.” Arias isn’t about show.  He’s been known to participate in NASA Honda Challenge events and hits up every time-attack he can fit into his busy schedule.

For the moment, Arias and his team are focused on providing quality JDM performance parts and tuning.  With the KRIZN Industries team, it’s quality all the way.  So, don’t be surprised to find parts manufactured by KRIZN Industries in the future.  Keep your eyes and ears open for new developments from this up-and-comer, and you may be the first to sport a KRIZN prototype.
