Hi everyone,
So what do you know about IAP parts for air cooled VW's? I was looking for some parts for my Karmann Ghia on Rockauto, and I noticed that the bulk of the available parts are from "IAP". I have never heard of this supplier, are they reputable? I am thinking that they may be just a middle man between Rockauto and the customer? They seem to have some brand name parts, under the IAP label.


Thanks,
Zack

IAP has been around for a long time, they sell much more than just aircooled VW parts. There are only four or five major importers left that everyone buys from, they are one of them. Most parts from them are good.

You got it backwards; Rock Auto is the middleman. IAP is a major import/export company.
