Commercially-produced rear wheel skirts

I will take the ABS one for a 2010 Honda fit in a heartbeat and can assure you you would sell a lot of those as these little cars are already good on mpg.

I see those li'l Fits everywhere. When looking at the garage stats here, we used two criteria: total number of owners per model, and a derived "loyalty" rating based on the number of owners who had updated their fuel log in the past year.

For the Fit, the numbers were low on both points. 44 total owners, and only 10 loyal owners (23%). By comparison, the Civic boasts 546 owners with 196 loyal (36%). And of course, this is why the Civic topped our list.

That isn't to say the Fit won't get a nod, but we'd have to see some demand to make that happen first. And there's the point of this thread. Thanks for the feedback!

THe Stang being top ofthe list was a joke, and my little way of saying I am rather interested

I doubt many of my fellow mustang oversnwould be interested...

I agree that many people will buy that care about fuel economy, but really, one should focus moreon the bigger fish, to help finance your whole business.

Like with the Mustang, the reason they can afford and develop the GT, GT500, Boss and Leguna Seca is because of The sales on the v6. Or say Toyota, selling Camrys to Be able to afford to build the LFA, and put that technology into their future cars, future Camrys and what nots.

So my Mustang, the older more eco driven people/vehicles may be interested-but is it profitable? While if you first sell for the masses, you have a much wider target audience, and a better chance to break even or profit. Then, you can work on more specialty projects, or a "do it yourself" or "one size fits most" kit.

If I could order them paint-matched ABS, I'd be very interested on the S10 set.

I'll be in for a pair for a Gen 6 Civic in ABS for $80.

Back to the Fit, which my family does not own. As you hope to sell through dealerships: You should check Honda's sales figures. Very possibly they sell nearly as many Fits as Civics now, or more.

Remember Fit has been on the market a shorter amount of time than Civic so this board will have more Civics. So because owners avoid modifying newish cars, you will probably less less Fit participation here, till they become older high mileage cars. BUT buyers might want them with their new car.

The Civic was the third-best-selling car in America last month, and in the top 10 for the year. Approximately 6 Civics were sold for every Fit last year in the US!

Sign me up for a set of ABS for a 2001 Civic. I am hoping to acquire one in a few days.

In order to be a completely self-sustaining operation, we'd have to sell on the order of 100 units per week.

For how many weeks? I.E., how many units to break even?

Can you have tooling for multiple part numbers that count toward that total? Point your market machine research tool at thesamba.com. I'd take mine in ABS with a new 'not-the-50s' fender lip.


Heck, with those narrowed front axles, you could make matching front fenders skirts and they'd be screaming "TAKE MY MONEY!"

Sorry, I wouldn't be in the market. I couldn't detect any fe change with or without skirts.
