Post Porsche dealer for boutique items parts etc?

Which dealers are out there throughout the country that will give the best deals for buying Porsche parts/accessories/etc?

For example, if I want to buy an aluminum shift **** &/or brake lever, who do I call?

I know of Gert, but he doesn't appear to sell everything. Are there any good "internet sales" dealers in the U.S.?

Thanks in advance.

I'd say to first give the business to Rennlist sponsors. Probably shouldn't list non-sponsors in a thread like this. JMO.

I am not advertising for them, just saying I had good luck with them. Might check <a href="http://www.fathers-sons.com/home.htm" target="_blank">http://www.fathers-sons.com/home.htm</a> as they are a sponsor.
Gert is also great to deal with but for a single item the shipping might be too much.

If Viken or John D think it is inappropriate I will understand if they edit/delete my message.

Greg, my note wasn't directed at you or the referrals you made but was just a general comment about this thread...seems that it would be inappropriate to list non-sponsors here in light of the board policy on same. But once again, JMO. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Thanks Greg, and sorry if I caused trouble with this question. I have one of the "spend $200 and get $100 off coupons." I can only use that with a dealership, and some dealerships will also sell at a decent discount from list. I did see Father & Son Porsche on the list, but didn't know anything about them. They also appear to be the only dealer who is a sponsor. I was just wondering what dealers will give me a good deal.

Thanks.

Kevin and IndyLaw,
No trouble caused. Here are the rules mentioned:

"You may not have commercial links in your signature to non-supporting vendor sites (i.e. - "Rennlist Sponsor") nor act in behalf of a commercial vendor, who is not a Sponsor, by having your SIG include a website from a vendor who is *not* a Rennlist Sponsor. We have a lot of Vendors who "use Rennlist" as their *free advertising* media.

You may not post links to "Rennlist" products, 'deals' and "group buys" offered by non-supporting commercial Vendors/Sponsors targeted at Rennlist subscribers. More times then not, folks are asked to do that for the "free advertising" that the Vendor enjoys (i.e. "scam the list"

I doesn't say you can't show links to non-sponsors or even mention them, just that you can't have them in your signature and that you can't act in the vendors be-half.

I assure you I have no vested interest in any of these vendors. The only one I would consider investing in would be Gert, and I think there would be a line out the door if he needed investors.

Having said that we should all try to support the rennlist sponsors first if possible.

Greg
