or just make it the full screen, and at the bottom have, "grandprixfourms.net" vertically and cut spaces between then so they can tear the tab off and have the websites address (use this to post at local barber shop and or convent stores, food-lion or something...) maybe u guys have seen on stuff for-sale????

I see what your talking about offroadfury, and I easily could make something up like that just so that it is available for download if anyone wants to take the time to print it out and cut the tabs out.

As of right now though, what do I, or we need to do to make the current flyers available for download to the site?

I can certianly make them, not hard at all. It would just require more work from the person printing them for use, but I see no reason that we can't make it available for download to the people who want to use that method.

I have some constructive comments.

The fliers look great. Excellent job Street Wolf! The only exception is the pictures make the forum look like it only deals with upping the performance of these cars, which is fantastic! In my area we have a few W-Bodies that are used for race applications, but majority of Grand Prix owners, particularly the older generation, don't have interest in putting performance modifications on their car. I've seen a few people on the site itself that only care about their general maintenance, and maybe getting better fuel mileage out of their car.

I propose you maybe put a sentence going across the bottom of the 3 pictures that says something like "Info on everything from general maintenance to high end performance is discussed"

Also I see a lot of W-Bodies period, so maybe another quote that says something like "All makes and models of cars are encouraged to join!"

Finally, how about making a second template with a bigger design to fit on a bigger peice of paper. Maybe have more pictures spread around, like some older generation W-Bodies. Also maybe having a list of the benefits to joining the forum such as...

1. It's 100% free to join! (I'd never pay for a forum if I did find one that charged... still)
2. Ask questions about your car and expect many replies from enthusiasts wanting to help!
3. Administrators do a great job of keeping the environment friendly and resourceful!
4. Very benefitial advice for increasing the performance of your vehicle, whether it be more power, better handling, better braking, and even better fuel mileage tips.
etc.....

Then maybe a few examples

I'll use one that I'm working on now...

"Members on the forum have been converting their vehicles to run on e85 fuel. Much discussion, advice, and even pictures walk you through and show you what it takes to do the conversion and get away from high gas prices!"

Off subject: ^^^ when I start the e85 conversion I do plan on taking pictures for a visual walkthrough of the swap, along with writing up my experience during and after the swap.

If I meet someone and talk with them I'd tell them about the site and hand them a big flier. If it's just a car sitting in the parking lot I'd put the small one under their window wiper or something.

I hope this was helpful and I'm in no way critisizing the work you've done already Street Wolf. What you have now looks amazing! Excellent job!

Oh, sorry I never saw your post until now. I guess the thread disappeared too quickly.

Thats full of great advice and ideas, I'm certianly going to have to put together some other versions and make them available for download. Always better to have a large selection up for people to download rather than not enough. On the large full sheet hand out I'll certianly put more text on it about what all we do and discuss here other than just the performance applications since I'll have more room to work with. Maybe put pictures down the page of a the Pre 97 body style, 97-03 body style, and 04 and up body style Grand Prix's. Kind of like a time line. Then fit some smaller pictures of a Regal and other models as well if it does'nt clutter things up so badly.

Once we get the current version put up and all of this organized real well I'll start work on some of the other ideas for they can be added.

Speaking of the current flyers I have done, I've just gotten them converted to a downloadable format and someone should be adding them to the site fairly soon. Here is a sheet I printed just for testing so you guys will all know what it'll look like once you print it. Of-course you'll have to cut them out, and whatever type of paper you print them on will effect how fancy they look.
