Exclamation Feedback Needed - Design Your Own Body Kit

Hey everyone. I've been developing a part of my website where you would be able to design your own body kit. You pick your car, your car's colors, a front bumper, side skirts, and a rear bumper and the site produces an image of what your car would look like. Recently I've become unmotivated to finish it and I would like some feedback to see if the project would be worth finishing up.

So, if you all wouldn't mind going to the URL I have below and trying it out and posting either here or on my message boards with what you think of the project, I'd appreciate it greatly.

As it stands, the project is no where near completed. Instructions: For the first two options, select "7th Gen Civic" and then "Satin Silver Metallic" from there you can choose which body kit parts you want...So far you can try any combination of Avenger, Bomex, G5, Tsunami, and Xenon. All the others do not work.

Any feedback including constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated.

You can find the program here: http://www.bigboosting.com/kit_selector/

And yes, I know the graphics aren't perfect, but they'll be fixed sooner or later.

I don't care much for Body kits... but that's pretty sweet. It'll be better once everything's working. Now... if you added rims to that too....

LOL Well I am single...

And I welcome anyone to try it out. I know probably 90% isn't working right now, but as soon as it does I'll need people to look around for bugs before I start promoting it fully. Right now you guys are the only ones who know about it.

The page is up so it should be working. If you get a bunch of Red X's, just right click and click Show Picture or try reloading the page.

Wow thanks That's quite the compliment.

So I've decided I will finish the project up completely. I'll post again once it's all completely probably. Thank you everyone for your encouragement and feedback, I appreciate it!

That's sweet bro...but why can't I finish?? I get to step 4 and then when I pick the side skirts, it says that the page can't be found! I didn't read the whole post so if this site is just not completed then my bad. But IMO this is a sweet a$$ site bro...good info for body kit buyers you know!!

My bad...I finally got to read the whole post Yes, IMO finish this site...it's well worth it!!

LOL It's ok, no need to apologize. People always think that at first. Most girls don't like cars or have their own web sites. So no biggie. It's funny to me

As soon as I get some time I'm going to start on a section of my site for all my modeling and events pics so there will be more to show sometime soon. Anypoo, here's a pic of a show I did not too long ago.

Hmmm...Guess I'll have to do some research on which kits are available for the sedans. Are the front and back bumpers the same for both? I know the side skirts would not be the same.

front bumper is the same, the rear im not sure about, i think the fitting is the same, but if its a full bumper it wont fit, also some side skirts will fit, u can tell by looking at most of them, if it wraps around the doors on the coupe, it wont fit on a sedan

That was a nice program. I think it would be really helpful. You would be surprised how many people ask questions based on body kit combinations. This would really help people get a visual of what a mix and match will look like.

As a computer scientist I applaude you.

Alright, seems I've run into a few problems...

1. Is there a Black Widow I or Black Widow II kit for our cars? I've tried searching high and low but to no avail. If there is, could someone please post a link to a picture (preferable on a silver or white car)?

2. Has anyone put R33 sideskirts or rear on their car, and if so any pictures (silver or white again)?

3. Same for Erebuni Shogun.

4. Are the Black Widow and Shogun widely used? If not I could replace them with a more popular kit such as the EVO series.

Any feedback would be awesome, thanks!

Erica
