which is it low prices (crap) C1P or quality(more expensive, superior customer service) Aircooled.net, Topline, Wolfsburg west.
C1p I have dealt with for several years on and off, usually because of the price. I am always disappointed in their quality and customer service. I have had nothing but good experiences with the others I have listed.

I have dealt with Cip1, Wolfsburgwest, and Jbugs. All are great places to deal with. Price can be a factor but, it depends on what you need. You really need to shop around and compare. Take your time and do not rush. Do the job once and in the long run you will save time and money.

As everyone else has said it depends what your looking for and what you want to spend. Wolfsberg and Jbugs are higher end and higer prices. CIP1 has lower proices and lower quality (on most items). CIP is great for supplies and odds & ends. OE VeeDub is also a great place to look, but their prices are high also.

well you are right in the vw homeland,just run up to vw-paradise they will have what you need or can get it.
most mail order places have a $5 dollar handling fee to all orders plus freight. sounds like you can spend more on good parts and save it on shipping and handling.
or you can call some mail order company in The midwest and shipp it back to Calli where it cam from in the first place.
good luck.

pickup a copy of hot vw or vw trends and go through all of the ads typing up the web address and then bookmark them. Then you can always go back to them and compare prices, etc.
