Series 6 feat. Dannie Riel
With summer just around the corner now is the perfect time to release Series 6. Just like any other small business out there Import Bible has experienced highs and lows but this year has definitely been a high so far. Going hard at it I’ve decided to go all out on this series, releasing a total of 9 shirt designs, 2 sticker designs and some decals. As some of you might have guessed I’ve also teamed up with Dannie Riel to model my collection. Not bad!
I’ve wanted to do a film for a long time and since I had Dannie on board already I teamed up with TGK Films to shoot a “behind the scenes” video. My goal was to make something similar, if not better than what the bigger brands were putting out.
Dying Breed Shirt
The very first M3 was introduced in the mid 80’s and was based on the popular E30 chassis. As safety requirements changed the M3 has slowly grown from a lightweight sports coupe to a heavy luxury coupe. The E30 M3 is often regarded as one of the best driving cars till this day.
Feather Weight (White) Shirt
Loved by few and hated by many, the Miata is always a hot topic with enthusiasts. Few cars have continued the intentions of their predecessors like the Miata. Throughout the three generations, this classic roadster has stuck to the classic sports car recipe. With a simple goal of recreating the simple British roadster with the reliability of a Japanese car, the Miata is easily a lightweight powerhouse.
Go Hard (Gold) Shirt
Arguably one of the best chassis introduced to the evolution family. The CT9A was the base of the Lancer Evolution 7, 8, and 9. Gaining a tremendous following, due to its stellar performance both on and off the track. The Lancer Evolution 8 would also be the first time North America would meet the car.
Good Foot Shirt
Being one of the last Japanese sports cars in the 90’s, the Toyota Supra had a notorious reputation of getting its owners into trouble. The bulletproof engine allows many tuners to modify it to incredible levels. The result? Expensive tickets!
Grease Monkey (Blue) Shirt
For anyone who loves to work on anything mechanical, you have probably been referred to as a grease monkey. Nothing wrong with that! This shirt is for everyone who isn’t afraid to roll up his or her sleeves to get down and dirty.
Rim to Rim (GID) Shirt
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 colours to create their perfect look.
Glows in the dark!
Stacks Shirt
Japanese car companies were known for their cheap sport coupes, having less success in the luxury sport coupe segment especially in North America. However, the V35/G35 is one of the first luxury coupes that really took off with its voluptuous back end and signature exhaust note.
Wide Open Shirt
Known as a velocity stack, these trumpet shaped add-ons help draw air into the engine. While some may use velocity stacks in their streetcars they are commonly used for racing applications due to their distinctively loud noise. Stacks along with individual throttle bodies cannot be matched in terms of responsiveness.
Deep Dish Tank
Dedicated to enthusiasts who love the style and appeal of deep dish (distance between the lip and face of the rim). Wondering what the pack of smokes is for? Suitable for measuring how deep your dish is. They say the deeper the dish the deeper the pockets.
Club Sticker
Stickers have played an important role in car culture and are one of the most common ways to represent your club. Often containing Japanese script and engrish quotes, this sticker is inspired by the vibrant club stickers found in Japan. Minus the engrish we think this is a pretty badass tribute.
