As for the business cards: You have a good eye for graphic design and your BCards look good already. It's a tough choice between them. I like option B too, but I think you need to add something in there that shows a car's profile at the very least, like you have in option A. You need that to show people that you're talking about cars.

As for the top 10 Tips; that is also a great idea. People like free stuff and in this case to people not familiar with this site and the concepts behind all facets of hypermiling, this information is perhaps something they didn't have (know). The grammar needs some work

"1. Log your fuel consumption" would be a more correct statement.

"4. Inflate your tires +10%"

"5. Avoid carrying unnecessary load in your vehicle"

6 - I'm not sure I get that... perhaps you can say: "Accelerate slowly and smoothly"

Point 3 and 9 kinda falls under the same 'banner'. Maybe: "Anticipate driving conditions to avoid excessive braking" might work better.

These are just my suggestions

I take it you're going to offer things for the more popular and therefore bigger target asudience cars

Opel astra / Corsa
Ford Fiesta / focus / modeo
VW lupo / polo / golf
Pug 206/307/308

I think a simple range of grille blocks, larger front airdams replacing the existing ones(using original mounts), wheel discs would be a good starting point, if you have friends in salvage yards you could use the cars there to component sizes.

you could also use the sales data to find the more popular cars to mod and then create more 'extreme' options like kammbacks, belly pans and wheel skirts

Professionally done stuff will no doubt increase the W.A.F!

Cards are not my design :/... Few new cards added.

Top 10 list will be added to website.

Cars will be selected by popularity and owners possible williness to add this kind of parts to their cars.

W.A.F is also something to think about. Pink cars can do wonders to some girls so painting is the key if nothing else works...

6 - I'm not sure I get that... perhaps you can say: "Accelerate slowly and smoothly"

This means rapid accelerations with highest gear possible...

I like the white one with the big T, but it needs to have the company name on that side without overcrowding it.

Black seems out of place given what your company will be doing.
If you want black, use the darker green for green texts - it's far stronger when seen against the blackness than the pale green used for the EKO in TUNEKO and the url.
The lighter green could be used for highlights, as it is used on the big logo.


In image series 5, colours are too pale.
Don't fade away. Be bold !
The airflow over the "missing" car is too subtle to be effective, and the logo gets in the way for people to see the car shape.
If you like this design, lower the logo and URL, and make the windtunnel effect slightly more pronounced.


I wouldn't give away 10 tips.
It takes up a lot of space on your cards.
Grab their attention with 1, then try to draw them to your website for more.

Web site is down?

[Frank Lee]

Websites and slogans with no products and nothing proven are HUGE WAVING RED FLAGS to me; makes me think one is a charlatan. See: The Hoax Car thread, Goofy homemade trike thread, Alcohol Mustang thread, etc.

I think it's good policy to not use the customers as test subjects.

How about :

Less drag goes further
Less drag = less fuel

or less drag gives better fuel economy

Just a few ideas,

Less drag = More cash in your wallet
Less drag = More $$$

Guys, give Vekke a break, he's only starting up !

[Vekke]

As I wrote on previous page website will be open to selected viewers if you are interested send me a PM... And also the pages dont have nothing yet. Maybe on monday I will have something there if computers and programs work etc.

I will start all the paperwork of starting a company on 4.10.2010. I hope I have all the licences etc ready in the end of october. Starting a company is not a piece of cake in EU... Lots of things are still unclear and must be solved, but if you believe in something you can do for sure.

About then the sites will be open everyone, also I should have the first products ready.

...two things I'll be interested in are: (1) a 16-inch wheel diameter Matrix-version for my '09 Vibe and (2) an "add-in" variable (open/close) grill airblock kit.
