Jbugs is barely acceptable quality. Dont know about cip1. Wolfsburg west gets two thumbs up. Its cheaper to do everything right the first time

Wolfsburg West is my default vendor.
www.mtmfg.com is on the East Coast, so I'll order from them if I need something fast
rockauto.com for all the generic stuff (I actually use it to look up part numbers, and then I order from Amazon).

Wolfsburg West is excellent; you pay a bit more, but the cost is worth it when things fit properly the first time and last.
