Rim to Rim & Bathing Stig iPhone 4/4S cases

david — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:26:39 +0000

I’m working extra hard this year to release new type of products, these two iPhone cases are the first of the many products I have planned. Taking two of my most popular designs I have modified them to look great on an iPhone 4/4S case. They are now available in the shop here.

These cases are manufactured by Uncommon, an American based business that makes a great case. The designs are embed into the case itself so they will are resistant to fading, peeling and chipping. They will fit all current models of the iPhone 4 and 4S.

Weights sticker pack & restocked stickers

The sticker section of our shop is finally getting some much-needed attention, after my original circle logo stickers sold out I ordered up a couple of new stickers to take its place. First up is the Weights sticker pack, originally featured on the Slow Down shirt but I thought it would be just as good in sticker form. We’ve restocked the original circle logo design since it’s a staple but also included a new inverted design in red. Hope everyone enjoys the new stickers!

Series 5 update

david — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 08:11:55 +0000

It’s finally here, we’ve added four new shirts to the Series 5 line up. Unlike the first set of shirts we released, these four designs return to our original style of car inspired tees. Three brand new designs focus on cars we’ve always wanted to do shirts of, RPS13 (one of the first shirts we’ve made), R34 and the GD8. The Rim to Rim design finally returns with five more rims totaling thirty four all together. Hope everyone enjoys the new designs!

Forty Eighty

Known simply as the 240SX or the 180SX, it was the only time Nissan offered a S chassis in hatchback form (or what Nissan calls, Fastback). It wasn’t uncommon in the 90′s for enthusiasts to replace their battered front bumpers and with another S chassis front end. Creating unique vehicles like the Silforty and strawberry faces.

Rim to Rim (Navy)

This is a tribute to one of the most popular modifications purchased for a car. Not only does it change the aesthetics, but also agility of the vehicle. With hundreds of designers, car enthusiasts can choose from different styles, offsets, sizes, and colors to create their perfect look.

Slow Down

The Skyline name carries the tradition of dominating its competitors in any given race. The popular R34 continued this tradition when it entered in the JGTC series. Even when it was given heavy weight handicaps to even out the playing field.

Shooting Star

Japanese for the Pleiades star cluster, Subaru was once comprised of six different companies. The Impreza line has always been Subaru’s shining star, proving to be one of the most popular sports cars introduced.

Raw (blue) shirts shipped

david — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:55:49 +0000

All Raw (blue) shirts have been shipped as of today. Every time I run a group buy it seems like either the printing process or shipping gets delayed. Again I apologize to the customers who have patiently waited for their orders, to make up for it I included a small gift. Anyways if you missed out on the original group buy I do have a limited supply of extra shirts but they won’t last long.

Raw (blue) shirt group buy

david — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 03:51:17 +0000

The original Raw shirt was one of my favorite designs from my Series 2 line up. Although the shirt did well, many of my customers asked that I re-release the design in a different colour. Well wait no longer, the Raw shirt is now available as a limited time group buy! You can pre-order the shirt here.

New Evo shirts, Trouble Maker shirts & Sakura stickers!

david — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 02:09:48 +0000

Import Bible finally reached 1,000 likes on Facebook so in celebration I’m releasing 3 new products on our online shop. Both the Evo and Trouble Maker designs return in brand new colour options that I’m sure everyone will love. I know the sticker options have been a bit dated so I’m also introducing a new sticker design featuring the famous Sakura rims.

New Boxer (Black) Shirts

david — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 03:06:53 +0000

While the RS25 shirt group buy was happening several people asked that I print the shirt without the RS25 branding on the shirt, although I intended to open another group buy for the shirt I didn’t want to have the headache of keeping track of 2 separate orders. Instead I opted to print a small limited set of the Boxer (Black) shirts. I limited the production to only 30 shirts (3 shirts were damaged in the printing process). Because of the limited run the price is a bit higher than usual, but they also come with all of the stickers available from Import Bible. The shirt can be purchased here.

Motor Spirit shirts shipped!

david — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 19:22:02 +0000

The Motor Spirit tees arrived this Thursday and as usual I spent my Friday packing shirts so they could be sent off right away. The shirts turned out amazing. Within the first week of releasing the group buy, both me and Justin Fox (JDMST) decided to donate all of the proceeds towards Japan relief effort. In total we were able to raise $375. Thanks to all of the customers who purchased a tee!

Series 5 up for grabs!

david — Sat, 21 May 2011 18:40:56 +0000

Learning from last years fiasco (3 months late!), I quickly started to work on Series 5 after my Series 4 update in December. Everything worked out well and I actually had the shirts designed and printed in late April. Series 5 marks the 5th year I’ve been doing this shirt thing and I’ve been loving every minute of it. There is no better feeling then to create a design and have someone across the world love it.

For this series I decided to do something a bit different. It’s no secret that I love the street wear industry, many of my designs are inspired by the street wear scene. I decided that this series would have a shirt inspired by my all time favorite brands – sort of a tribute to them. As always thank you for the continued support and help spread the word!

All Time – Inspired by 10 Deep

One of the oldest street wear brands out there, 10 Deep continuously releases strong products season after season. What sets them apart are their strong graphic tees, original cut/sew pieces and catchy slogans. 10 Deep likes to create new original designs rather then recycle their past work, which keeps customers wanting more.

A recent obsession of many tuners, dropping the height of your car is a great way to improve not only performance but also the look. While most enthusiasts are content with a mild 2-inch drop, a select few are pushing the boundaries of how low you can go.

Bathing Stig – Inspired by A Bathing Ape

A Bathing Ape (BAPE for short) is known for being one of the most envied brands in the world with it’s ultra limited production runs, high prices and high profile collaborations. BAPE really set the standard for street wear companies with its funky/unorthodox designs and amazing storefronts. Their limited runs make the brand even more appealing since most of their stuff does not sit on the shelves for too long!

The mysterious test driver known for his amazing driving skills and his weird quirks makes another appearance on one of our shirts. Although the original driver was sacked, a newborn replacement was found to continue the legacy of the previous Stig.

Living Fast – Inspired by Diamond Supply Co.

Diamond Supply Co. is a California based skateboard accessory and apparel brand. Nick Diamond (the owner) is known for his great t-shirt designs that incorporate diamonds in ingenious ways. His creativity really captures what I love about design, as he likes to use different colours and textiles in his work.

Living the fast life has been a motto that many people live by. They say the fast life is all about money, girls and cars. Car enthusiasts are one of the few people that live it out in the literal sense.

MKV – Inspired by Obey

Obey is a street wear brand that was started by Shepard Fairey in 1989. What started off as a simple stencil, quickly turned into a full-fledged brand. The iconic image of Andre the Giant can be spotted in major cities across the United States.

The MK.V is the fifth generation model of the popular Golf. Some would say that the car has a cult like following, but there is no denying the MK.V enjoys a very active enthusiasts scene around the world. The combination of its agile handling, surprisingly fast speed and practicability makes it a very popular car.

Wack – Inspired by The Hundreds

The Hundreds is a brand based out of California, known for their laid-back style and strong graphics. The Hundreds is quickly turning into a power house with 4 stores and a long list of collaborations. One of my favorite things about the brand is the way they incorporate pop culture into their designs. In a way they are preserving the ideas that helped inspire them.

Fake parts are nothing new and its unfortunate that this industry has been around for years knocking off designs from the best in the industry. Lots of time and money is spent by these established brands to create the best products. It won’t be long until we lose these original companies, stop supporting fakes!

Series 5 comes out this weekend!

david — Thu, 19 May 2011 14:00:58 +0000

I’ve been working my butt off since January to make sure that this year I had my shirts ready before summer. Last year I made the terrible mistake of ordering my shirts in April and they didn’t arrive until mid August. After countless hours of labor I’m now ready to release Series 5 to the world…this weekend. If you are a fan of our fan page on Facebook or follow me on Twitter you probably have seen the teaser photos of the new line up. For those of you who don’t have either or don’t do the social thing here are the pictures, see you this weekend!
