This site in the classifieds, or some of the other Porsche specific forums. Some things pop up on craigslist from time to time too, if you're near a large metropolitan area. Ebay, etc.

If you're talking new, I think the best deals can be found through db-carbon.

ocarbon also does some very nice work. He was used by a lot of the RS4 guys in the Audi world and I've seen him do some porsche's as well. Often you can get above the OEM quality on some of the products from the aftermarket scene for a fraction of the price. You just have to do your research, b/c there are some cheap knockoff guys trying to make a buck doing the same thing that the legit ones do, just at a fraction the quality.

Have a ton of DB Carbon... same as OEM but doesn't yellow or crack like OEM.

MA is just a rip off and you still have to send in your old parts. DB is less expensive.

DB is until you get the customs bill for duty due on imported parts.

Taxes and duty are paid by DB when it ships. I'm assuming this was a random guess?

Even with duties and taxes you would still be better off with DB. Just for reference 996 side mirrors from MA list for $1,175 + $150 core charge. DB lists for $570 w/ no core charge.

I received parts from DB then received a "duty" bill about a month later.

So I emailed Daniel @ DB Carbon. He said sometimes duty is charged and only on orders for several thousand dollars. DB switched to using UPS who charges the duty upfront to the receiver and then pays them directly to the state. Before he used DHL which did not incorporate the duty into the shipping cost.

Sorry for jumping the gun earlier. I just never experienced the duty associated with DHL orders and have bought many many parts from him.

DB does group buy once a year and I think it should be coming up soon. Highly recommended, I have a few parts and it seems to be top notch.
