Surprised to see so little JBugs in here. They are my first, then probably CB performance followed by Wolfsburg west and summit racing.

Classifieds first for used/new factory parts.
VWNOS for NOS/restored parts
CB for "performance" parts
Jbugs and CIP1 for reproduction factory parts, as they literally sell the same stuff whoever is cheaper.
Kartek for offroad parts
Send Cut Send for custom laser cut parts.
Rock Auto for our daily older Japanese autos.
The only "brick & mortar" store I go to is Napa Auto for oil and factory Honda & Toyota filters

Wolfsburg West for any rubber items for sure, interior, and stock replacements.
CIP1 for anything non stock for free shipping.
Classic steel bodies for bus sheet metal.
DKB for bug sheet metal, even though that may change due to poor customer service experience.

CIP1.ca gets all my business now. Between complications with duties importing parts from the USA and the fact that parts rarely arrive from there without a chase to determine where they actually got sent, I have quit ordering anything from south of our border.
