They use to be Vender here on the forum, and all they did was give us the run around, including myself!

I'm saying you can be a sponsor if you pay and don't have a bad rep. If you are bad to your customers and there are a lot of complaints on your service/business, you will be dropped from the forum.
I have no clue how a sponsor is vetted. I don't care. I respond to the gripes from the forum members.
If you'd like to know how the sponsors are vetted, I'd recommend you contact the IB staff or an Admin.

A good bit of these vendors don't make anything, I call them "freight forwarders", just a middleman. Most don't have any product knowledge, receive, repackage, mark up the price, send. But that's the established business model of today.

Top Flight Automotive was founded in 1977 as Corvette America. We have been supplying the Corvette industry for nearly 50 years and are the Global leader and number one source for Corvette parts, interiors, and accessories and has earned its reputation for excellent service and quality parts. If you have bought Corvette parts from Central, Zip, RPI, Ecklers or even your local restoration shop, you were more than likely buying products manufactured by Corvette America.
Recently, we acquired the assets of Corvette Mods and, on January 4th, formally merged their product catalog onto our website. Corvette Mods offered a large selection of great products and there are literally thousands of customers who had a great purchasing experience. But there's no question the experience some customers had with Corvette Mods prior ownership led to understandable anger. Because of this, the entire Corvette Mods business is being integrated into our headquarters in Reedsville, Pennsylvania to improve customer service, in-stock inventory, and quality.
We have the largest C1 to C8 Corvette product portfolio on the planet and we look forward to serving your needs in the years ahead.
Respectfully,
Top Flight Automotive

We have a robust remote work program here at Corvette America AND Top Flight Automotive, so having good people across the country in the regions we service, just makes sense. However, you can rest assured, ANY employee that does not respect the Corvette Community and VALUE their loyalty will be appropriately dealt with.

Every Mods employee was interviewed, audited and researched. The bad apples did NOT make the cut. Those that gave it their all AND understand the Corvette platform and how important the Corvette community is to US were kept on.

Ron,
When I didn't get a call back from your employee in a timely manner, I called another vendor of the product I was looking for. They answered my question and I purchased the item from them.
Now you know the rest of the story................................... ...............................

You have a lot of damage control to do if you want anyone to buy from Top Flight. I'm still in the camp of unless you fire all of the Corvette Mods employee's then I'm not interested. I'll need to see some positive reviews that forum members post regarding their experience with Top Flight before I ever consider buying anything. I hope that Top Fight can prove to be a valued retailer for our community, but I'll wait for others to share their experience first. It was a good first step to provide your direct contact info. Time will tell..
Now that I know that employees are still on the payroll and dealing out of the same place, I really don't see any change for the good happening.
Good luck to Top Flight if it works out.

I can agree, there are quite few folks that have gone through a frustrating ordeal with the incompetence, arrogance, and ignorance of that staff there.

I think it's good that Top Flight was transparent about their purchase of Corvette Mods. They could have said nothing and just absorbed them into TF, but sooner or later word would have gotten out. I have restored a lot of different makes of cars and trucks over the years and bought a lot of different non-Corvette parts, and it always amazed me that CM continued screwing people and didn't end up in jail. I'm sure TF did their due-diligence and fully understood the reputation that came with the purchase. I wish them luck in trying to stop the old CM employees from continuing to have the CM mindset.

It's suspect at a minimum. Modern gen auto is corvette mods and operated out of the same building. When my order of poor quality parts finally arrived from modern gen auto last year after filing a dispute with the CC company it was packaged in corvette mods packing. The website for modern gen auto is still operational and I can't find mention of new ownership on that site. Until more information is given I'd stay away. Probably best to stay away at all costs until they can demonstrate they have things fixed in my opinion.

TF has been around for years. Ever hear of Corvette America? Same outfit. I've been buying from them since my first C4. Never an issue. Corvette Mods on the other hand....
I see this as great news.
