Update on chrome stickers.

Kenny was kind enough to tell me that there is a chrome vinyl that might actually work, I will track down this vinyl and give a shot, so chrome orders WILL NOT be replaced unless I absolutely have to!

We are having issues with the chrome.

I cannot get the chrome to work properly. The first brand i used would not cut properly and made it impossible to weed. The second brand i used is even worse, if i cut it at all it will go through the backing and destroy itself. So unfortunately for the time being ALL ORDERS FOR CHROME WILL BE REPLACED BY SILVER. I apologize for the inconvenience but i cannot continue buying different brands of chrome and having it fail on me, please understand that i am paying for all of the materials out of my own pocket. If that is an issue please send me an email at yutaakaishi@gmail.com to request a refund. I will however keep researching and asking around to see what brand of chrome everybody else is using. If i can figure out a way to get chrome ones done i will make that available to you as soon as i can. Thank you for the understanding.

Making HBforJapan Stickers.

First of all, i would like to thank everybody for their generous donations! We are now at over $3500! (i will be compiling a list of all the people who donated and will post it up as soon as i can) I have been working day and night to get all the orders out as soon as possible. I also apologize for not being able to reply to all your emails right away as getting the stickers out has been the priority, i will reply during this week, promise! HUGE thanks to Grayson for designing the sticker as well as making necessary changes to aid in weeding the vinyl as quickly as possible, Justin, Ricardo, Erik, Helen and Max for weeding HUNDREDS of stickers . You guys are awesome, i really couldn't get this done in a month on my own. Every day after we were all off work we went to Justin's house and worked on the stickers 8-10 hours a night. We are almost finally caught up and they will be shipping out this week.

Heartbreaker for Japan, relief project.

Photobucket

My name is Yuta Akaishi and i am part of a car club by the name of Heartbreaker, If you are reading my blog i assume you have a decent idea of what kind of cars we build and drive. We have huge respect for Japan and many of our friends and family call Japan their home. Personally for me, my whole family lives in Japan and have been affected my the earthquakes, the tsunami and now the complications with the nuclear power plants.

We have never sold any stickers with any variation of our logo to the public, however i would like to do so at this time and offer these vinyl stickers which i will be personally making for sale at five dollars each, The same person who designed our Heartbreaker logo, a good friend of ours - Grayson was kind enough to design this logo for us as he is also Japanese American with family in Japan, We are all striving to do our own little part in helping those in need and urge you to do the same.

Every penny that i can raise through the sale of these stickers will be donated to aid the recovery of Japan, meaning when you donate $5.00, i will forward that money right to Japan. The sticker is just a gift that i would like to send to you. The postage and cost of materials will be paid for by myself as my contribution to aiding Japan. I would very much appreciate it if you could post this info up on any forums, blogs, facebook pages that you frequent.

, please be sure to include your desired color and your mailing address, and also please send an email including the paypal email address that you used, mailing address and desired color to hbforjapan@gmail.com so i can verify your order and stay in contact with you. Thank you very much, and below is the exact design that you will be receiving: available in white, black, silver or chrome, 8" in length.

People these days.

So I'm talking to Lucky on AIM while eating a Jalapeno Burger from Carl's Jr. which is awesome. and he shows me this, a copy + paste from a conversation he had earlier on some forum.

Photobucket

blew my mind.

Is this guy an idiot? illiterate? literate in the sense that he has memorized how to type one thing, to ask to buy a clutch pedal? Made me chuckle then just made me sad, humanity is like seriously in the shitter man, With the kanye west and the Jersey Shore, and THIS GUY. Sucks...

ANYWAYS.

Lucky's corolla stuff is for sale, so be sure to check out this thread here. Mother's Day is coming up and nothing says "Happy Mother's Day" like some Battle Version FLCAs.

Name us!

Hello dear readers, So as you may know my good friend Ronald has a 30" vinyl cutter and we have been making stickers for our friends. We have been getting more orders lately and would really like to have a name so we can send out stickers with orders and just have them on our own cars for advertisement. We have been brainstorming for a week now but cannot come up with anything! So i would like to see if any of you guys had any cool ideas for names. Please feel free to email any suggestions to yutaakaishi@gmail.com or just leave a comment. If we use your name i will send you a few of the stickers we make with the name you suggested and ten of any sticker you may want (custom orders). I appreciate any ideas you guys and girls might have, Thanks!
