Default Where do you guys find used 993 parts?

I've tried Oaklahoma Foreign (good prices, but haven't had much luck finding ods and ends) and dcAutomotive (can find lots of parts but can just about buy new parts for what they want).

Currently looking for engine tin...

Check Sunset Imports in Oregon for new parts -- you might be surprised. Otherwise the two yards you have mentioned are the ones I would peruse. eBay?

For engine tin, try Steve Timmons(sp?) or Patrick Motorsports as they do a lot of 3.6L swaps etc.

I got an aluminum and leather brake handle from Sunset for a decent price.
I had to get it because I found the aluminum/leather shift **** at Hershey (still in the box) and once I installed that the original brake handle looked pretty cheesy by comparison. Sunset offers a high level of service at a good price.
All dealers should follow their example.
