Who cares what you make? Look at the ads on this site. Quality doesn't sell products, BS advertising does. Sell a piece of tape that you hang from your rear bumper and claim it gives 15mpg increase for 100 dollars on sale for 50.

If you actually want to benefit the world - Three factors to consider
1) What demographic of car buyer wants to mod their car? (civic, scions, cobalts)
2) What vehicles can most easily be helped (full size pickup trucks, mom-mobile land-yachts)
3) What vehicles are most highly produced for the biggest possible market

It strikes me that dodge pickup truck owners like to be in the mod crowd more so than the other pickup trucks (gmc, ford, etc used for work) and there are plenty on the road.

BUT with pickup trucks, you haev to be very careful. If a truck owner doesn't think that the mod will make people believe that their manhood is larger than it is, they won't buy it. The poor reviews given to Bondo's bed cap are a clear example of that. So are "truck nuts".

Maybe a lip/skirt/diffuser kit and an airbag kit so they can lower the truck for aero or raise it to tow. Add a full belly pan and then maybe extend into taller final drive ratios.
