Salvage Yard - recommendations?
I need a few trim and dash pieces - any recommendations or experiences with the porsche recyclers? I am in MI - as far as I know there is no local used parts source.

While I don't have first hand knowledge, I've heard good things about 'Oklahoma Foreign'.

OK Foreign is good, I have bought some wheels from them. One phone dial I asked for the cheapest one they had because it was for a race car and got what could be described as flawless. So props there. Also Parts Heaven and the LA Porsche salvage place are also both great to deal with. Depending on what you want some might have parts while others might not.

Silver Star Recycling in Rancho Cordova.

I've heard some very mixed reviews of the LA guys. Don't take my word on it though. Just do a search on their name here and on 6speed before buying.

I had good results from Oklahoma Foreign. I bought off E-Bay, but you may want to call them instead.

Another place to check is ...

dcauto.com

I recently bought a steering wheel from LA Dismantler and was pleased with the quality.
