I asked that question to Chuck when ordering some parts and he said no.

If you think about it, probably 80% of Paragon's customers are Rennlist memebers, so giving us discounts would seriously cut into their profits. Either that, or they'd have to raise their prices to create the appearance of a discount which I highly doubt they'd ever do, that's not exactly their business model.

Special promotions or sales like the Excellence Was Expected Rennlist discount.

I would imagine they have some wholesale accounts an those accounts have a special code to discount parts properly. That's what I'd do.

Actually, there's nothing more annoying than ordering something from Performance Products and then getting a postcard 2 days later saying they have a sale.

I'd personally rather place an order with the confidence that the price would not arbitarily go down right after I got the parts.

The secret discount block, eh? Let's see what our friends say about it:

[Clint Eastwood] - "...you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I deserve a discount? Well, do ya punk?"

[Jack Nicholson] - "You want discounts?"... "You can't handle the discounts!"

[from Blazing Saddles] - "Discounts? We don't need no stinking discounts!"

Unfortunately, we do not currently offer a Rennlist Member discount. The discount area is used for special promotions such as the aforementioned Excellence Was Expected sale that has now ended. The best way to find out about specials is to subscribe to our newsletter. Every once in a while I spam the forums here with news of a sale or discounted items.

BUT, check their prices during the 20% off sale, they're, oh about 20% higher.

I just did the rental car thing - less hassle than public transport or trying to line something else up. Plus, I'll likely be driving that world class Cadavalier or maybe a zippy little Neon. Woohoo!!

Clear lenses sell okay - kinda pricey for the ricey

Anywho, if you'll be at RR2, drop me an email so we can trade info and numbers.
