WHAT WE DO
Car Design Shop Sokudo specialises in custom livery, decal and graphic design inspired by the golden era of Japanese tuning culture.
Built from years of involvement within the Japanese automotive community, our designs draw influence from the iconic street cars, drift cars and circuit machines that defined the late 1990s and early 2000s. From subtle sponsor layouts and period-correct logo placement through to full competition liveries, every project is designed with attention to style, balance and authenticity.
Unlike a traditional sign shop, we understand the history behind the brands, vehicles and styling trends that shaped Japanese car culture. Whether you're building a clean street car, a time attack machine, a drift car or a show vehicle, we work closely with you to create graphics that complement the vehicle and reflect your vision.
STEP 1 - DESIGN
The first stage is the design process. Based on your chosen package, we will create a digital rendering of your vehicle and develop a layout that suits both the vehicle and your vision.
Every project begins with a design consultation to discuss your ideas, inspiration and desired style. From there, we create digital renderings and refine the design through up to two rounds of revisions before moving into the production stage.
STEP 2 - PRODUCTION
Once the design has been approved, we can provide a quotation for vinyl production and supply.
As every design differs in size, material usage, colour count and complexity, production costs cannot be accurately quoted until the design stage has been completed.
Graphics can be produced and supplied through Car Design Shop Sokudo, or production-ready vector files can be purchased via the applicable file release fee for those wishing to arrange production independently.
