Anyone who wants to share their online experiences in purchasing online? I'm a little scared of scams...

I've gotten good parts from the above, as well .as CB Performance. And if you are selective, cip1.com. Also mooreparts.com. Trans parts from Weddle manufacturing.
Not online, but any Speedster or Spyder specific stuff from Carey/Kevin Hines at Special Edition. Even little stuff like Tenax fasteners. I even ordered Airkewld brake kits through them. If you're going to pay retail anyway, you might as well let someone you know and like make a few bucks!
CIP1 often has 10-15% off sales and free shipping on most items purchased over $75. Just beware of EMPI and Chinese parts - there you get what you pay for.
I like KLASSE356 for emblems and OEM rubber trim.
WV stuff: CIP1 ........excellent service
Speedy stuff: Vintage Speedsters
International Mercantile for rubber parts and a few trim parts.
McMaster-Carr for hardware, weatherstrip and a whole world of stock material needs.
Bug City VW Parts in Connecticut (their on-line catalog is awesome)
Gene Berg for quality performance parts
Speedway Motors or Summit Racing for hard-to-find performance and custom parts
Hey Jane! Welcome to the Madness known as replica Speedster ownership. Nice looking car in your avatar!
One thing for sure, you'll NEVER be short of helpful tips and advice on this site! Hope you can join one of our West Coast SOC cruises (Check under the 'Events' thread). We may do another cruise up Palomar Mountain sometime soon (we meet up off the 215 at Hwy 76). You would have a blast driving your car in a caravan of Speedsters on mouton roads!
What is a mouton road?
Is that a type of mustard? Or a nice bit of lamb...
Ah, man, speaking of mustard... I just found out yesterday that Noah's Bagels owns Einstein Bagels and they are here in Irvine. What does that mean exactly? They have Bagel Dogs! And I love Bagel Dogs and Mustard!!!
Mouton Road: Another term to identify the sheeple.
Mouton Road, Bwaaa haaaa!
I HATE when auto-correct messes with the sheet I write on here!
