I use react-bootstrap, but I want to modify some of the elements, so I wrote my own custom.css. However it doesn't make any changes (only when I put !important, but the file is so large so it's not a good option). 

import {MenuItem, Nav, Navbar, NavBrand, NavDropdown, NavItem} from "react-bootstrap";
import {LinkContainer, MenuItemLink} from "react-router-bootstrap";
import '../assets/css/custom.css';

This is what I did so far.

First of all make sure you're loading your custom.css after that react plugins CSS and also use proper selector , of doing these you won't have to use !important. – vivekkupadhyay Oct 9 '15 at 12:29
    
@vivekkupadhyay what do you mean by after? i import in the following order. – kreadteff Oct 9 '15 at 12:56
    
then may be its selector issue – vivekkupadhyay Oct 9 '15 at 13:01

you can use sass or less(sass-loader, less-loader in webpack), or use .css in project

for example

│  data.js
│  index.css
│  index.html
│  index.js

here index.css likes your custom.css

you should add custom.css in index.html file

for example

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://xxx/cdn/bootstrap.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="custom.css">

yeah, it looks like simple! just that!

When are you importing the Bootstrap CSS? I have an app which successfully uses Bootstrap with some overrides, which does this at the top of its index.js:

require('bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css')
require('./bootstrap-overrides.css')
