Browse by make?

[credenscel]

I am trying to get an online car parts store up and one thing i was looking to have is for the users to be able to narrow down the products listing by car make/model.
An example of how other sites do this can be found at www.autozconcepts.com
Look under "browse by car"
as an example click on Acura, > Integra.. from here i can further narrow things down by the manufacturer.

any input on how this can be created will be much appreciated!
Thank you!

Activate the MANUFACTURERS sidebox. (You can also activate the MANUFACTURERS_INFO sidebox as well, if you like.

Each product can then be "assigned" to a Manufacturer. Standard way of doing this is in the product edit screen, but if you use EasyPopulate, you can get this data into the dbase in a matter of minutes.

Thanks for the info. The issue i am having is not about the manufactureres.. Currently i can set up the products and enable the users to find things by
a) manufacturer
b) category (internal, engine, accesories etc...)

what i need to enable is the ability for users to browse for parts by
a) manufacturer
b) category (internal, engine, accesories etc...)
c) car make/model (i.e. Acura >Integra)

any idea how i can set this up?

i think what i basically need is something similar to the "manufacturer" properties (the way you add the manufacturers and then when creating a product you can classify which manufacturer it belongs to). When you click "manufacturer" it automatically displays all products by that manufacturer.

What i need is the same thing but calling it "browse by make" and i can link each product to a specific make, allowing the users to browse not only by manufacturer, category but also by their car make.

Would anyone PLEASE help me figure this out?
