Couple weeks ago, Sunset quoted me plug wire set for 1100!! wtf?! Obviously, I bought Beru wires elsewhere for less than half. In general, they do have very good pricing though.

If you need oem parts in a porsche box, these online dealers are the way to go (like turbos with oil filters).
Buying porsche branded parts from pelican (or really anything) is most likely a waste of your life, but I occasionally check to make sure their pricing is still high.
best bet, find the bosch/beru etc part number, and google that.

For your info, they beat Sunset on a LOT of prices recently, and I spent a ton the last two months.

Pelican big filter is $20.25
pelican small filter is $17.50
If you wish to pay $13 or 50% more for the same stuff, thats your perogative.

I didn't say they would be low on everything. I did say they were lower than Sunset, on other parts. Reference sensor, CHT sensor, etc. I also got the $1100 wire quote from Sunset.
Anyone that doesn't shop is nuts.

The CHT Sensor is $220.42 at sonnen (same as sunset). This is in a porsche box.
Pelican wants $330 for the same part in a porsche box.
For the Bosch sensor, Pelican wants $145.
Azautohaus wants $106 for Bosch 0280130097, shipped for free.
The reference sensor is $164 at Sonnen (again, porsche branded)... its $231 at pelican.
Branded as bosch (0261210002), Pelican wants $115.75, AZautohaus has it for $56.
While it always makes sense to check, these are not small differences and add up fast.

Unfortunately my total is in print in the February issue of Excellence, and that doesn't include 3 oil changes in 2 weeks while breaking in the new engine .
And that doesn't include all the other bits and pieces that were done to the car over the year (Brakes, RSCS body kit, + + +...) It sure was an ugly year for me.
