Default Yay got the site up and running!!!

Well after about 2 weeks of working on it and fixing problems and trying to do all of this while I started a new job. The site is up and running. It still has some spelling errors and grammer problems I'm sure, but you can now browse,use the cart,and purchase items.

If you see any problems shoot me a PM so I can fix them.

So without further adieu here is my new business.

looks good... tons of spelling and grammar errors though...I know you mentioned that...but get those fixed asap...they stick out like a sore thumb to me and make your business seem fly-by-night, which I know it isnt and isnt intended to be.

I will definitely be buying a set of HIDs here near the end of October more than likely.

It looks good man, very clean which is what I always liked in websites. There isn't a bunch of random crap floating around to confuse you.

Yeah I know its not 100% done yet, but I wanted to get the word out and let you all see it anyhow. I'm working on slowly fixing all those little things.

Hey if you see some please let me know.

In Shipping and Returns you forgot offer:

"We off a 10 day return policy on all items. Items may be returned if they have not been opened or used. If a problem with the item arises contact us immediately."

Yeah they are the same ones that I sell. Dual beams work just like stock. You have a high and a low beam.

Also, regarding the HID kits, do you sell them by the pair or separate?

Yup, there's a typo. It should read "and follow the instructions as you're prompted"

If you checkout the top of the HID section it gives you a link to the FAQ page which will help you figure out what bulb your car uses.

They are complete kits. So its two ballast, and bulbs etc... Unless you buy a motorcycle kit. Then you will of course get one for your headlight.

Thanks, I fixed that one just now.

Its hard to go through and find them all and work full time. So please if you see more let me know. I am fixing other things as I see them to.

KEEPING THE EXTERIOR OF YOUR VEHICLE CLEAN IS ONLY HALF THE BATTLE. MICROFIBER IS THE BEST AND SAFEST WAY TO CLEAN, DRY, POLISH OR REMOVE ANY DETAILING PRODUCTS. MICROFIBER IS A MUST FOR ANY DETAILING ENTHUSIAST AS WELL AS PROFESSIONALS.MANY OF OUR NEW TOWELS ALSO COME WITH NO ANNOYING TAGS TO BE REMOVED. POORBOY'S WORLD MICROFIBER IS LONG-LASTING, EXTREMELY ABSORBENT, SUPER SOFT, AND MACHINE WASHABLE OVER AND OVER.

need a space after professionals. and Id change "many of our new towels also come with no tags to be removed" to just, "Many of our towels dont have those annoying tags that need to be removed." Or just remove that sentence totally.
