depending on what you're looking for, try www.doghouserepair.com I've worked with phil over there and he is a stand up guy highly recommended.

I'll second www.bugcity.com as a good source for genuine VW parts if you don't mind paying. I ordered a genuine German front apron from them and the guy who was doing my body work said it was excellent quality. My last large order was from www.cip1.com and like most of the larger VW websites some of it was good and some of it was crap, but it was mainly just stuff like fender beading so I didn't really mind.
A couple of others to consider: www.bughaus.com (pretty close to me, been there in person a few times and liked what I bought
ANother one (based in Canada) is www.germansupply.com - they seemed to be the only place anywhere that had replacement mounting studs for my autostick control valve. _________________ I'm the humblest guy on this board.

I have been ordering hard parts from Jeff Lain at KaddieShack and the immediate responses I have gotten on questions before ordering...has been fantastic.
I ordered P/Cs and Dizzy on the first order and it arrived in quick fashion and everything is working perfectly.
I am in the process of ordering shocks and sway bars from KaddieShack now and have already received a response from Jeff to questions I sent him yesterday about the costs etc...
Great service. _________________ Doc

When my local shop doesn't have it, I like aircooled.net. He is marginally more expensive, but when I call I get a human being, and more importantly an answer! To me this is worth the buck or more he charges.
I have also used cp1, and wolfsburg with favorable results. _________________ Remember to get your VW spayed or neutered
