Default EK and DC2 guys...

you officially only have 24 more hours to pick up a DC2 or EK DorkiDori shirt via hondatech (thats when my vendor status runs out)...i will be deleting them from the catalogue due to lack of interest as of august 31st...and unfortunately i dont think i will be returning to the FWD honda world for quite a while as there is a HUGE lack of interest in having fun shirts to wear...S2000 guys ate them up...FWD honda guys...not so much (not being insulting...just stating fact)

please use the link in my sig to pick one up...again...you have until august 31st for an EK or DC2 shirt

what do you mean??? its a DC2 on the shirt...a DC2 is a DC2 isnt it?

if youre referring to the amount of S chassis and FM chassis shirts i have...there is a reason behind that...i cant offer every variation on the SAME chassis like some people were asking about...its one thing to have an S13, S14 and S15 on their own shirts...theyre all different cars...but to feature a zenki DC2 shirt and a kouki DC2 shirt wouldnt be worth it...the S2000 guys were happy just have their favorite car on a shirt regardless of being an AP1 or AP2

I understand its a DC2 on a shirt, but its one pose with ugly wheels. Not trying to knock your product but just stating reasons as to why im not purchasing. Actually now that i just took another longer look, I really dont like the wheels!

Shirts are a little cartoony for me. I think there is a HUGE market for car related shirts, I'm looking for shirts literally ALL THE TIME. There is honestly just not much out there. Some variety goes a long way though. I understand that fronting out creating shirts your not sure will sell is tough too though. Good luck man.

Personally, I believe the market for Honda anything has dried up. What you have...as of right now...are two different groups making up the Honda crowd: you have the die hard Honda enthusiasts and you have the fly by night crowd who modify their Honda because they cant afford a better car at the moment.

I would say that 8-10 years ago when Honda's WERE THE 1ST CHOICE when it came to fixing up any car - these shirts would have flown off the shelves. People took pride on their cars and wanted to express it any way possible.

But nowadays, those who drive Honda's really dont take pride...they just drive it cause it's cheap and there's plenty of parts, all the while eyeballing that newer car...or possibly a Nissan, which seems to be the next step up from Honda nowadays.

So who would really buy these kind of shirts? The hardcore Honda enthusiast, such as myself. But the artwork...the theme...it's just not appealing. I'm 31 and I just cant imagine walking around with that kind of shirt. Maybe if it was less "in your face" and more clean, simple, classic looking - then definitely yes.

Just my .02 from a dude who been wrenchin on Honda's for 16 years.
