About

BOWLS started in 2007 as a small boutique in San Marino, CA. A year later we were deep in the Honda Ruckus scene, building custom bikes, showing at SEMA in 2008 and 2009, working with Tokyo Parts and making our own parts in the USA and Japan.

In 2009 we moved into Little Tokyo, and we've been on 1st Street ever since. The scooter days are behind us, but the car culture never left. Today BOWLS is a car culture shop: tees, hats, stickers and 1/64 diecast, built around the cars, scenes and people we see every day.

BOWLS is veteran owned and operated.

Little Tokyo Motors

Little Tokyo Motors is our car community, based at the shop. We gather, teach and document JDM car culture in Little Tokyo, from meets out front to the stories behind the builds. Follow along at @littletokyomotors.
