i read a thread some time ago about contacting someone at a parts site, either southwestautoworks or custommaxima, about special discounts for org members. i'm looking for clear side markers and was hoping i could get a good deal through the connection.

and one more thing while i'm at it. i asked in a thread once about not being able to use the search function on the site and someone replied that it can be used only by contributing members. what constitutes a contributing member? like making a donation to the org or purchasing org items? i would like to become one. i'm looking for the thread about the bose rattle fix, the simple version, not the elaborate, professional one done by housecor and i'm so thinking the search function would be extremely handy. so if someone could let me in on the know thanks.
