Layout looks good. Crisp images and good photo of the car.

And to those of you who say "who the fuck cares about spelling?" this is why. I would be riding the design companies ass about simple typos like "prices" and "discount". Its not like a typo on "Machiavellian"

IMO, you should maybe add some info about the shop car. Like events won, track times,etc........

Just my .02 :)

Nice job CC. Chris seems to be humpin it over at Gearheads. Maybe he finally realized that if he gets fired from this shop he’ll have no other mustangs shops to work out. :LMAO:

Joking chris, but damn that was funny. :D

You guys really need to make a myspace account for gearheads... they're plenty of mustang groups on there to advertise to. Best of all it's free...

I like it a lot, but some of the wording seems off to me. Don't know why but, "Want more power/driveability/fuel economy" just doesn't sound right to me. I'm just an "average joe", but another thing that might make it flow a lil better would be to say, "Get the Diablosport Predator Programmer and maximize you combination with a complete, Gearheads Performance, in-house dyno tune!". Just my .02 which aint worht much. I love the appearance though, its pretty friggin bad ass. Can't wait to see it in the mags! Keep up the great work!

Also watch for capitalization consistency - some words are capped, others aren't.
And, is it Gearheads? Gear Heads? GearHeads?

Be consistent!

All-in-all a sharp ad.

Car-less Chris
05-08-2007, 05:35 PM
yeah we've spoke to the ad people..this was a rough draft from last week..i will post the new one in a few days..

Damn that looks great Chris! :cool: Great advertising. And I totally agree on the Myspace thing. Thats a mecca of networking for anything nowdays.
You also may look into putting race videos, dyno videos and anythng of the sort that relates to Gearheads on Youtube. Make the account as GEARHEADS PERFORMANCE. Youtube gets MAJOR hits and the videos are categorized pretty well, plus its free!

Problem with the ad is that it does not set your shop apart from the other 5 gazillion ads in MM FF.......

maybe you want to focus on the fact that you do local installs and engine work for the southern USA?

Such as:

408's, Modular Cam Swaps, Nitrous and Blower setups etc. etc... I personally think the "we install what we sell" concept is a bit under utilized.

Nice ad by the way.... comming from someone who does this for a living.
