Stick ‘Em Up!

Here at Forever Ashbury., we have a Roland GX-24 vinyl sticker cutter/plotter that we use to make most of our custom cut stickers. From the design process, to a finished sticker, it is all done in house. With the help of friends and family, every single sticker is individually hand peeled (weeded) with tweezers. Extreme attention to detail and care goes into each and every sticker. With that said, they are now available for sale in-store only (currently until further notice). Every sticker is limited and range from different sizes, colors, shapes & designs, each at different prices. Come by and ask to see what we have in stock. And at the Purple Factory we call Forever Ashbury., we will always offer more styles on a daily/weekly basis.

Cut & Create.

People always come up to us and ask about our window displays. They want to know what they are and what they mean to us. So we decided to design and cut some window stickers to explain them. (We make our stickers by ourselves)

In one of our window displays, sits a car engine from a 1983 Datsun 280zx. It is a completely rebuilt L28 engine with F54 block and N42 head. We painted it purple and one day will go into my red 1973 Datsun 240z. Slowly, parts will be put on it like headers, intake manifold, triple carbs, etc. Until then, it’ll just sit pretty.

In the other window is our first screen printing press we ever bought to make our T-Shirts on. It was set up in our garage and we used it to make all of our first shirts. I even made the first ever Fly  Society shirts on it. It is now retired, sitting on a wooden stand with a PURPLE CARBON FIBER pallet to lay the shirt on.

This other window had a bullet hole from a BB-Gun. It was there before we opened the store and we only patched it up, we liked how it looked so we decided to just sticker bomb it with our own stickers. Some of these stickers are available in our store so come by and pick some up!

And on our front door, which by the way is PURPLE CARBON FIBER wrapped, we decided to cut and design our social media links. Follow us on Twitter @ForeverAshbury, FaceBook.com/ForeverAshbury and Instagr.am @ForeverAshbury.

We got Derek’s thumbs up on this design!

2 Wheels Moves Your Soul.

We’re always surrounded by cool cars and motorcycles here at our store. Sometimes our supporters and customers come through with really nice rides and we always like to go outside and check them out. This 1098 Ducati below rolled up the other day and we thought to ourselves, “Why dont we get one to display in our store for a while?” So we did.

Ducati 1098 with a carbon fiber Termignoni Exhaust

Some say, Ducati’s are the Ferrari of motorcycles. We agree, it is an elite and exclusive luxury Italian motorcycle brand with an extensive racing history and philosophy. Makers of the finest and sexiest twin engine bikes there are with some costing as much as $75,000. Unmistakeable exhaust roar and clutch clattering sounds, Ducati is the definition of a distinctive lifestyle company and leaders in their realm of moto racing.

“4 wheels moves your body, but 2 wheels moves your soul.”

Welcome to our store.
Forever Ashbury. XOXO.

Butter.

We met Marcus a few years back at a carwash. We both had tuned cars, his G35 and my Audi S4. We naturally talked about cars and then started discussing a future photo shoot. Our busy schedules got in the way and a few years later, Marcus rolls through to our store and surprises us with his completely built and transformed G35 sedan. Clean lines, nice stance, one word, “BUTTER”.

Check out some of his other articles on HellaFlush and Canibeat.

Kawabunga.

Our good friend Vergel came by our shop to show us his new toy he just picked up. It’s a 1978 Kawasaki KZ200 with plans of transforming it into a Cafe Racer. Can’t wait to see what he has in store for this bike.

Start it up!

This 198cc motor is in great condition for its age.

Forever Ashbury. Stamp of Approval!

Picture Me Rollin’.

We had the extreme pleasure of getting a Bentley Continental GT for a few days. Let’s just say we made the most of it. Here’s a clip of us putting on some Forever Ashbury stickers & enjoying a ride through our beloved city. Shout out to ILMT family & Nathan Sok for the great work. Enjoy.

Two Thousand Two.

As of lately, the Z has been surrounded by an unusual amount of BMW 2002’s for some reason. These cars are so unique and are our favorite cars to see at Bimmerfest.

Random 2002.

The owner of this one stopped by to check out the store, but we decided to check out his car. Classic whips have so much character behind them.
