Default Car Tuning Web Sites...

I am starting a web job soon and building a full tuning site for my client.
Besides your general flash, online purchasing, and order tracking, I don't want the site to be standard. Tirerack is good, anybody know of any REALLY clean online stores?

What do you all think car parts/tuning sites lack?

LLTEK.com, stratmosphere.com, and awe.com (the best) are pretty good.

Default stratmosphere maybe...not lltek or awe

i like sites that are easy to navigate. sites must be clean, legible, pictures and prices of all products, and any testing information, tech sheets are a plus.

Not really a tuner, but I'm a big fan of tirerack's site.

Default What I don't like about tirerack's website...

I can't punch in a tire size/speed rating from the home page to pull up a list of tires with prices. Instead, I have to venture 4 pages deep through a series of drop downs and check boxes, finally hitting the search button to pull up the suitable tires.

AWE's site is similar to this design philosophy. Dig 4 pages down and you can get pricing on Zimms for a 2001 1.8T.

Look at an airline website. What's the number one thing people go there for? Pricing tickets. Most (good) airlines will allow you the ability to entire some brief info off their home page, and they will immediately display a list of flight options and prices. Some will even go a step further and provide suggestions on criteria you can change, and what the effective savings will be if you change those criteria. Anyway, I'm getting off topic. Point is, tires are the number one reason people go to the tirerack. Not suspension, not brakes, and probably not wheels either.

What I do like about the tirerack...links everywhere. Don't understand something...there is the link! Tons of information readily available at your fingertips...specifically test results for different tires.
