“What is that mod? Where do I get it?”
Hey Everyone,
I've been a member of different car forums for years, and often come across posts of a member posting a pic of their car, and others asking, "What rims are those?" "What shift **** is that" "What is that exhaust?"
I've decided to remedy this and create a website where you'll be able to upload a photo of your car, and tag different mods on it, like you can tag people on Facebook. You'll be able to say what each mod is, where you bought it and how much you paid for it. When hovering over a picture of a car you will see exactly what has been tagged. Here is an example from a website I’ve created for the Fashion community. Hover over the photo to see how the tagging will work, http://www.fashionhungry.net/fashion/style/132
You'll be able to browse different mods (ex. VW GTI BBS, Honda intake or Ford Spoiler)
You'll also be able to enter your car into a battle with another member's car, and get people to vote on their favorite. You'll be able to share the link to the battle on forums, Facebook, Twitter etc...
I'm launching this website at the beginning of September, and am doing a pretty heavy marketing camapaign at this year's ImportFest in Toronto.
Here's a sneak peek, http://www.modhungry.com
What do you guys think of the idea? Any suggestions or recommendations on what else you'd like to see? One thing I will not be doing on the website is a forum, as there are enough great forums for the different makes that are already well established.

I'm sure some will think it's a cool idea. Personally I think it's sorta a dumb idea.
It's not going to stop people from posting photos of their rigs on the forums, and it's not going to stop people from asking what a particular bumper (or whatever) is.
The original poster will need to know about the site, go to the site, upload photos, add information to all the photos, all on the off-chance someone might want to know what the modification are.
When they post in a forum the readers will need to know about the site, know how to find the poster's rig, and hope they posted it there and listed the source for what they are wondering about.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with either posting or looking, I'd just continue to ask in the forums, as I'm sure most people will.
Yeah, I have a question.
Do you think people are idiots?

I would also like you to provide me with the password to the email address, so that I can check for any communication, and track the general progress of which forums you’ve posted on. Let me know if you have any questions.
