For those who aren't aware of the Vanagon list member discount, to get your
5% discount use Referral Code  list1e  (that's a 1, not an i) on checkout.

The discount applies to almost everything as long as your order exceeds $50
before shipping or discount.  The exceptions are special order and made to
order items (such as rebuilt engines, rebuilt heads, transmissions, and
custom made mats and curtains), sale items (generally denoted by the
"bargain bin" icon on the website), tires, gift certificates (but you can
use the discount when you redeem them), shipping fees, and orders to which
some other discount has already been applied. The reason for these specific
exclusions is that those are extremely low-markup items to begin with. For
example I only make about 7% on a rebuilt cylinder head, so I simply can't
afford to knock off 5%. Obviously, on low markup items like this your "list
discount" is already built-in. You won't find high quality rebuilt cylinder
heads for 7% over cost anywhere else, list discount or not.
