Default forum discount???

Does anyone know if any of the parts vendors give a CF discount? Places like Zip, MidAmerica, Ecklers, Paragon??? Just curious...

Thanks ,

Sully

Paragon has program that gets you 10-15% off certain products. Zip has a similar but different program.

I recently priced wiring harnesses from Paragon. With my discount they were the same price as Zip.

Keep in mind that all of the major vendors share parts. I've gotten parts from Zip in Paragon boxes parts from Paragon in Ecklers boxes and parts from Ecklers in Corvette America boxes.

Your best bet is to find a vendor that has all the parts your looking for and order from that source so you can save on shipping. Also order from an out of state vendor to save on sales tax.

Vb&P (Vette Brake and Products does).
Call and ask for Patty or mention that you are a forum member.
I have got a 10% discount on everything in the past.
