I was having a hard time finding a front trunk lid for my car. One, somewhat local to me was purchased and was rejected by the owner of the body shop the car is at. A second was found in Fla. and shipped here. Greyhound lost it in transit and then when they found it, wanted to add storage fees to release it.

I was told about a place on the N.H., Vermont border that had a warehouse full of air cooled Porsche parts. I called them and they said they had at least 30 front trunk lids in various condition. I drove the 2.5 hours to get there and was able to dig through the lids and bought the best one for 200.00. I brought it to the body shop and the owner checked it over and was quite pleased with it.

The name of the place is Retro Automotive Products.. 866-737-1733

I have no affiliation with them, but they had what I needed and were easy to deal with.
Price wasn't bad either.. Might be worth a try for some used parts?? Especially small parts that aren't a ton of money to ship..

I mentioned this web site to them and they said when they get another person in the office, they will start advertising on web sites.
