What most miss in this 'business venture' discussions is :
What does the potential buyer look like? (financially & econamicly)
What are they actually driving?
Do they have disposablr $$?

Simply, They are cheap, drive pos and have no money.

Now on to the product design......

cant use coroplast for your actual product....to flimsy. have to have some preformed abs, like all the upscale cares already have.
That come off after 15-25k miles even under ideal conditions.
you'll need machinery to create the 'molds' and stamp out the product
You retail price would run $ 2-400
(if you dont understand 'retail pricing' I dont have 10hours to explain it)

Where are you going to advertise??????
not here, wrong demographics ......tooooo diy and cheap.

Bottom line, improving the nut behind the wheel is REQUIRED before most of this stuff really works. the placebo effect actually is working very sublety on our mods.

Ricers buy filters etc and then expect WHOOPPING results.....

most people buying a mod 'expect' it to work w/o any behavior change..... like diet pills
