Where are you sourcing the data from?

It's not too big of a project yet, all client side for now. I do want to clean it up and use zepto.js, less.js and lodash.js. Maybe even TypeScript. I didn't think people would be looking under the covers yet
. The code is prototype-ish, not the cleanest but it works for now. I'll also github it once cleaned up.
Data is just one json file and me researching on tirerack, manufactures websites, etc. I dont plan to add every product available... Just enough to cover all categories and proven/popular items. I still need to add braces, bushings, interior lights, but I feel it already has a good amount of the basics.
For simplicity, I just use the query string for data. Simple, and easy to share! Maybe later I can add a back-end so people can share. Even then, I would just store links using the query... no need for a db, just keep it old school
I'd like to say thanks to these guys for much of the research, and borrowed images. I'm not making money off it so hopefully they're ok with that. I can replace images as needed.

I have no affiliation with any of them, but I've bought parts from some.
