Since Porsche seems to have pulled back the bulk of inventory to Germany, it doesn't really seem to matter where I buy factory bits from.. are there any dealers/vendors that offer particularly good pricing/shipping charges/etc on factory parts?
Preferably outside of California so I can "defer" my sales tax, wink wink. |

Factory parts....go to a dealer.
If you want the real deal....hook up with some online friends in Germany and get the german parts. Most of the parts are aftermarket now anyways..Porsche is not making anything for our cars... What exactly are you looking for, and why do you need it to be a factory part? If you are building a 99 point restoration...go it. Otherwise, the current inventories of aftermarket parts are pretty good quality and really demand a closer look. Given that...the rubber seems to have limits...not all the profiles are correct..but the factory still does have some of it...the little stuff. 914rubber.com seems to be filling in where the factory is lacking nowadays. Chrome trim, go to AA...he has a good selection, and it is in stock. Any of the FI hard parts...make alot of calls...its a crap shoot. For interiors, world upholstery. Cant think of much else you would want factory.. RIch |
