I know, that's why I expressed the inherent difficulty in this particular mod (perhaps insufficiently) especially because of the variety of factors you need to design around. He'd have to supply these nuts tapped already with a kit like this - if it's EVER attempted. I can however see some of the more hardcore ecomodders on this site buying lugnuts like this to fit their aero plastic wheelcovers if it was the only way they could get around the problem though
- not the type of thing you'd attempt for your first product.

Some folks on this forum will indeed go to extremes to achieve their goal and push the limits.
We all need them to get anything going though.
Apple once called them the round pegs in a square hole, and that's indeed what they are.


But Vekke needs to sell his stuff to the general public if he ever wants to make a profit and a sustainable business, so it'd be a mistake to use the people on this forum as a reference for what the public might be willing to do regarding modding their cars .

Big thanks to euromodder, for the name suggestion. I think I have now already the name for the firm chosen. xxxxxxxxxxxx design and development. Beginning of that sentece will be revealed after I have that site taken for me. Your help will be rewarded with special price wheel skirt set for V50 . When I will have those ready.

Volvo will be witin the first cars to get wheelskirt other cars will be:
Prius, Toyota corolla and VW golf also very popular taxi MB E-class. As said the popular models will be ones to do first but also some of the economic models because the buyers have chosen the car mostly for that reason so if they can improve it even more they will do it more easily.

I think the VW lupos 3L could be my firms trademark. So I would byu myself of those from europe and if someone wants to get the most economical available. It would be Lupo 3L modded to the bone. I dont have to sell many of these but if those would have some special touches like west coast customs cars they would be noticed on the traffic and thats free adverticing.

Also I plan to do my own chromed 3D sticker for the back of car which will be included to the ecomodding kit .

Anyway continue commenting all the feedback is welcome.

Yes the parts need to be looking like that my wife accepts them , then most of them will be acceptable.

My firm (I) will also offer 3D cad engineering services for companies so ecomodding is not the only business.

Oh and by the way I have also one very promising idea conserning those aluminium wheels . Need to make some prototypes to test it in action. That will be difficult to do in DIY spirit, but should still be quite cheap.

Also more expensive professional solution will follow as a kit.

I look forward to seeing your work

Hi Vekke,

Nice to see you going for this thing full-on! Having a website up already is really good. I am impressed.

[Vekke]

First layouts for my business cards can be found:

TUNEKO - Windows Live

Which one do you prefer and what would you change?

I like the most of the tuneko versio b 2 side look.

However the card doesnt tell that I am working with cars so that need to be fixed. Any ideas on that are welcome...

For the slogan I need also still new ideas. Engineering, parts & Tips

[Vekke]

I have received also following suggestions for the slogans:

How about :
Less drag gets you further
Less drag goes further
Less drag = less fuel

or less drag gives better fuel economy
