Reddit's a tough crowd! Lots of Bangle fans over there :)

I do plan on scaling the design, I'm just not sure yet if every size will be scaled or every other size. There's a 6" width difference between a small and an extra large.



Thanks for the feedback but it's sort of integral to the design. You can read about why here.

yeah theres a surprising amount of rich people with bad taste on /r/bmw

Why do you post as 29.00 and have a sale on a new shirt and business for 24.00? Does it make people think they are getting it on sale?

$29 is the price I will be selling this shirt for after it is printed. However since this is a presale (shirts not printed yet) I am offering a discount to anyone who is willing to wait for their shirt.

Trust me I'm not trying to scam people into thinking they got a discount :)

Love the shirts!

One thing I've always wanted to see is a shirt/sticker dedicated to the hofmeister kink. Just throwing that out there.

What about this for a sticker...



Designed to fit in an E30 coupe rear window with arrow pointing at the Hofmeister Kink. Done in BMW font. This is the driver side but I also have a passenger side version.

I made it large so it could be seen but the size can be adjusted.

E30 sedans (or any BMW sedans I guess) have a 2 piece rear window which I don't have measurements for. If anyone wants to measure both windows I can make one up for sedans (E30, E28, E34 etc).

I also have a version that just says 'HOFMEISTER KINK' with an arrow but I think this is a little more fun.

Ohh! I like!

Maybe make it a bit smaller to fit on the \ part of the window. Then it could fit sedans and coupes, and e28s, etc.

Ok Slammin approves so I'll try and make this happen!

It'll be hard to make it fit entirely within the the small rear window of a sedan unless it is very small. I could make it 2 pieces with the writing on the big rear window and the arrow on the small rear window?

Can you measure your E28's rear windows and let me know the dimensions?

And if anyone can measure their E30 sedan rear windows (big and small) and post the dimensions here I would appreciate it!

Nice sticker idea ;)

I like the shirt & the sticker, I chuckled at bangle being crossed out.

Will you offer international shipping?

Hey, good job on the web site as well.
I like the asphalt enthusiast logo.
Get that blog rolling.
:)

1)i love the shirt
2)the joke is less funny if you have to explain it
3)$30 for a printed tee is a crime (i understand you probably make nothing selling these)

Thanks! I still need some sedan window measurements and then I'll look into having them printed.

Great, I'm glad you like them. If there's interest then I'm willing to ship anywhere.

It's great to hear that you like the site and the logo! I wanted to keep them clean and simple, but I wasn't sure if people would think they were boring.

Hopefully soon I'll have more products to offer people.

1) Sweet thanks!

2) Do you mean wearing the shirt and having to explain it to someone else, or me explaining the meaning behind it to you and everyone else?

3) I wouldn't consider $29 for a printed American Apparel t-shirt shipped to my house to be that expensive, which is what it will cost to buy during the presale.

I could print on a Gildan (or similar quality shirt) for less then what it's costing me to print on American Apparel. I decided against it is because I couldn't find any car shirts printed on AA, so I thought this was an opportunity to offer a higher quality shirt that only costs customers a few dollars more.

You are right about how much money I'll make selling these shirts, which could explain why no car shirts are printed on AA

Ran out and snapped these real quick.
I think the firsts pic is how I'd want the sticker to go, down the back of the window to the kink. Of course these are taken on the passenger side, since that was how the car was parked in my driveway, lol.

[evandael]

honestly, i'd buy a shirt with a slash through van Hooydonk.. I liked Bangle's designs, I think they will age better than the new ones.


but cool shirt nonetheless!

[Eurospec]

Love the concept and intending to pick one up. Any teasers for the upcoming designs so as to keep shipping costs down in case we like those too?

Cool these will help me out, and I agree it would look good on an angle.

It was hard to narrow it down but Bangle is more known then Hooydonk.

I'm glad you like it!

I should have some other designs this week, but they likely wouldn't be for sale until after the presale on the current shirt.

I love that sticker Id buy one if it was way smaller, a little subtle thing people see when they walk up to my car
