Where do you buy Porsche parts?
Curious if any of you have any untapped resources for where to get Porsche parts at reasonable prices.
I've bought a bunch of stuff from Suncoast Porsche's web site (17 mm spacers, p-car paraphernalia,...). Their prices for parts seem to be pretty good and I know other Rennlisters reference Suncoast in their posts.
So, let's hear it.

I also have bought a number of parts from Suncoast. It's important to not buy directly from their website but instead call them on the phone number they post for a better price. It's worked every time for me.

I always thought sunset (cost +shipping) was the cheapest for most oem parts.
I just bought a wiring harness for my fixed wing for a great price and very easy to deal with.
performanceproducts or automotion sometimes has good deals too...

I have never found anyone who beats Sunset Imports (cost + 15%) pricing so far.
http://www.sunsetimports.com/porscheatcost.php
They are also excellent at locating parts in Germany if you don't have P/N's and normally reply within 24 hours.

They also can get the European Tequipment car covers (full color Porsche crest, soft lined, fittment like a glove) which are MUCH better than the US spec Tequipment car covers (which I dont' even use to cover my track car).

I've used both Suncoast and Brandywine and both have great prices and great service. I hear Sunset is great too, maybe the cheapest?, but haven't dealt with them. Both Suncoast and Brandywine list a lot of stuff on ebay, usually cheaper than their website prices - ebay user names suncoast_porsche and brandywineporsche.

I'm looking for a good price on the 5mm spacer set...Suncoast has them for $340 which believe it or not is cheap - the kit is also on backorder EVERYWHERE.
Maybe I'll get my classic rims painted black or powdered but I'm thinking no right now.
My 'usual' course is about 2-3 years and then I start the mods. For me it'll likely be the evoms intake, GIAC flash, and an exhaust. Those are the basic mods I did on my last Audi (for the most part) and it 'breathed' life back into the car after I got bored around the 2 year mark.
Right now I love love love driving my car just the way it is.

Dave - suggest you call John or Dave at Wheel Enhancement in L.A. I bet they will have them and possibly at a better price. Know these guys personally and they are an excellent source.

Thanks Jim,...Wheel Enhancement had told me they stocked out too.
I actually just snagged the last spacer set from Sunset for a little under $300. Good deal !
