SHIFT CULTURE PARTNER PROGRAM
Get paid for the cars
you'd build anyway.
Curated partner program for creators, builders, and shops who already run the brands we sell. Real parts, real commission, no MLM nonsense.
WHAT THIS IS
Partner program for serious creators.
You feature our parts on your builds, content, or shop floor. Your audience buys through your link or code. You get paid. The product is real — we're an authorized dealer for KW, Mishimoto, COBB, HKS, Eibach, Mamba, and 60+ premium brands, plus our in-house line built in Fort Pierce.
This is invite-only because we want builders who can actually move premium product, not random influencers spraying codes.
THE TERMS
STRAIGHTFORWARD, NO FINE PRINT GAMES.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
REAL NUMBERS ON REAL PRODUCT.
Commissions add up fast when AOV is high. One full exhaust sale a quarter is more than most casual affiliate programs pay in a year.
WHAT YOU GET
BEYOND THE COMMISSION.
A code your audience will actually use
Every partner gets a unique 5% off discount code. Your audience saves; you get attribution + commission on the order.
Marketing assets ready Day 1
Product photos, B-roll, brand kit, logo files. We supply what we'd send to a magazine — you don't have to scrape Instagram for stock.
Free product seeding
Active partners get product to build with — quarterly or for specific campaigns. You install, you feature, your audience sees it on a car they recognize.
Featured spots on our channels
We repost partner builds across our Instagram, YouTube, and shop content. Two-way relationship — not just affiliate links and silence.
Direct line to the build team
Fitment questions, install advice, tuning support — the same techs who turn wrenches in our shop answer your DMs, not a customer service queue.
Personal discount on your own builds
Active partners get 20% off their own orders. Run our parts on your own car; share what works honestly with your audience.
WHO WE WANT
Builders, not spammers.
Car YouTubers. Builders with content. Detail and wrap shops. Track-day photographers. Drift drivers. Tuning shops. People whose audience would actually click a KW or COBB link — not generic lifestyle accounts looking to pad an affiliate stack.
If you've never installed a part you're recommending, this probably isn't for you. We'd rather have 50 trusted partners than 500 strangers.

COMMON QUESTIONS
BEFORE YOU APPLY.
What if I don't have a huge following?
We care more about audience quality than count. A 3,000-follower account that's 90% car people beats 200,000 generic followers. If your content is on-brand for performance, apply.
When do I get paid?
Monthly, via Shopify's payout system. Direct deposit. $50 minimum balance triggers payment.
Can I use the program on my own builds?
Yes — active partners get a personal 20% discount on their own orders. Build with our parts, share honestly with your audience. You can't use your own affiliate code on your own orders though.
Do you provide content assets?
Yes. Product photos, B-roll, vehicle shots, brand logo files — all delivered when you're approved.
Is the program available outside the US?
You can be based anywhere, but our parts ship in the U.S. only right now (some larger items are LTL freight to lower 48). So your audience needs to be majority U.S.-based for the program to make sense.
What happens if I get more popular?
We re-evaluate top partners quarterly. Higher commission rates and more aggressive product seeding are available for partners driving real volume.
