New Product Releases & the Latest Industry News!

The biggest complaints we hear from manufacturers are, one, I make all these great products, but nobody knows they exist, second, people see my ad or product release announcement, but can’t find it for sale anywhere, third, people want to know more about the item, but can’t find the information on it, and lastly, I’m the manufacturer, not a retailer, I make the stuff, but I don’t want to do the retailers advertising and marketing work for them.  So how do I get people to see my great stuff?

To solve this problem of information flow, we’ve created a product news release announcement section and archive, so you will have somewhere to go to check out all the great new stuff.  The Product News section is a way to see new products and find out more information.  These same articles will have links to their corresponding product types in our product directory.  We will also list each brand announcement, not only in the new products archive, but also in each individual brand section in our brand directory, and on occasion, we’ll run features too.  So enjoy reading up on the latest stuff, and remember to give us your feedback too, in our community media sections.

Products Directory

For those of you, who are intrigued by the tremendous about of products available, may be looking for something in particular, or need to get information available concerning a product type, or specific branded product, check out our product directory.

We started the products directory as an automotive portal, but have found that many manufacturers make products for lots of different industries.  So to accommodate the large variety of product types, we decided that the product directory would need to be designed with you in mind.

Currently we are focusing on these specific industries and the product types within them.

• Aircraft
• Apparel
• Automotive
• Household
• Industrial
• Marine
• Medical
• Outdoor
• Sports
• Toys

Since this is a huge undertaking, building a diverse and comprehensive products directory, please understand that all information is a work in process.  We accomplish this through the support of dedicated individuals who give their time doing something they have passion doing.  We also ask manufacturers and other groups, as described on join us, to help contribute towards supporting you the consumer.

To understand just how comprehensive an industry can be, here is an overview of the automotive industry and the product segments, and specific product types that make up the automotive directory.

Understanding the 3 Major Segments of Automotive Industry Products!

1. CAR ACCESSORIES & TRUCK ACCESSORIES

So you want to personalize your vehicle.  Well, you have come to the right place.  Car accessories and truck accessories are made up of a lot of areas.  Here is a recap of the most popular types of products.

Interior accessories, also known as your comfort zone, are usually the first thing you add or change.  Whether its floor mats or seat covers, dash trim or carpet, seat covers or seats, consoles or headliner, steering wheel covers or trim panels, what you add or change makes that vehicle all about you.  Since you’re going to spend most of your time inside your vehicle, it makes sense to have it make you feel good too.

Body styling, also known as exterior styling, is an area that can completely change someone else’s view of your vehicle.  This can be done by adding a front spoiler, fender flares, running boards, side window air deflectors, or even a rear spoiler or wing.  Instead of adding things, you can change your existing grille, hood, scoops, or even light assemblies.  For an even more aggressive approach body scoops and graphics can look good too.

Exterior accessories are usually just as important for function as well as looks, and can be anything from a grille guards to mud flaps and splash guards, from bedliners and bed mats to luggage racks and bike racks, from steps and running boards to tool boxes and winches, from tonneau covers and visors to air deflectors and light covers.  Whether you need a hitch for towing or have a rack for your skis, exterior accessories can be a real help.

General accessories are the biggest group of all and again can serve the need as well as looks.  From car covers and truck covers to window tint and tire covers, from alarms and navigation systems to radar detectors and speakers, from driving lights and fog lights to light bars and cargo nets, from all kinds of tools and equipment to wheels and tires.  Our products directory and brands directory is here as your resource.  If you want to let the world know about your automotive product experiences, our community media sections are there for your feedback and participation.

2. PERFORMANCE PARTS & RACING PARTS

So now you want to have fun too.  This area is for the serious individual who wants their vehicle to do more, because their hobby demands it, whether they go off-road or do some type of racing, or they simply are very serious about how their vehicle performs, sounds, or looks.  We like to call this our mild to wild segment.  Just about anything goes here, stuff like engine modifications to exhaust systems, from air flow to fuel systems, from specialty chassis parts to unique suspension systems and components, from lifted truck parts and components to lowered truck parts and components, from all kinds of gauges and ignition systems to racing apparel and safety equipment.

If you’re looking to get better gas mileage or are building an all out race vehicle, finding more information about the products you desire or need, is essential.  Our products directory and brands directory is here as your resource.  If you want to let everyone you can, know about your passion, your performance or racing product experiences, our community media sections are there for your feedback and participation.

3. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PARTS & REPLACEMENT PARTS

Even though this is not as exciting a market segment, it certainly is the most needed.  Whether it’s your commuting to work vehicle, a family vehicle, your kid’s first car, or a vehicle you use to tow anything from boats to campers, to trailers, and other recreation items, you need parts that are reliable and will hold up under all conditions possible.  So get to know your vehicle needs better!

While cars don’t fly or float well yet, we need them to operate on the road as well as possible, whether its brakes pads to air filters, headlights to shock absorbers, radiator hoses to engine parts, mufflers and exhaust systems to heating and cooling, are just as important as the condition of your tires.  Our products directory and brands directory is here as your resource.  If you decide to participate further, in letting other folks know about your product experiences with replacement parts, our community media sections are there for your feedback and participation.
