Default Best canadian source for parts?

Looking at some winter projects, can anyone suggest a canadian source for stuff like momo wheel/hub? I'm guessing I can't avoid duties on the more esoteric stuff like H4 headlamps...

If you are looking for maintenance items or for Porsche parts, Response Engineering is in Whitby and has very competitive prices. PM me if you need a quote on anything.

SportsCarBoutique is in Markham and is also a competitive place to shop for parts.

IMO just forget Canada and call Roger at 928's r us. He sells anything Porsche related and orders directly from Germany weekly and can get stuff faster and cheaper than any Canadian supplier.

I have him ship DHL or USPS to Canada or I pick up at U.S. address iny NY. Many times he has sent items late in the day (DHL) and they get to my office by lunch time the next day.

I know you we asking about local, just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the suggestions these are quite helpful!

Not hung up on local, just trying to avoid overpaying as budget is spiraling a little out of control as I go further down the rabbit hole...
