LA
 

I need a wheel well fender liner for my car and obviously don't want to go to the Stealer for a part that isn't cosmetic. Is LA Dismantler the best place in SoCal for a part like this? Asking because I live in Sandy Eggo and don't want to drive that far if avoidable.

LA dismantled is good. Check car-parts.com. I’ve had a lot of luck looking on eBay. I’ve been finding junk yards and resellers having parts tons of 997 parts/bumpers that are unlisted on eBay or online in LA. I just filter my search to a 50 mile range, used parts, find the name of the shop and google the phone number. Usually I find the parts way cheaper going this route. Hope this helps.

For some non-cosmetic plastic parts, the dealer prices are often not that bad. I randomly picked a front fender liner for a 997.2 Carrera at Sunset, and it's $163 at the time of writing: https://www.sunsetporscheparts.com/o...er-99750420300

That doesn't seem too bad and your local dealer may match that price.

Just an FYI...

Have you tried Autobahn since you're in SD?
