there used to be a place like that in the old chicago days, you pull up with your car, guy comes to you and asks you what you need, tell hime for instance a lincoln front bumper, they say come back in 3 hrs, and you do, and what do you know, a front bumper for your car.
a guy that worked with me was into that (an older gentlemen) and they used to get all kinds of parts for cars from bumpers, to hoods, to wheels (leaving cars on blocks), all on order...full interiors. crazy.
so im not suprised that this still exists, i jsut dont know where lol

Wow, I feel good about taking the company car to the airport now. Never take the Box no matter how good the weather.

Good luck with your "renewal".

I'll have my Boxster, new airbags and all, today at 4pm. Dealer said they found no evidence of anything else, they said even the "yellow" connectors to the inflators, were properly dis-connected, unlike some that are simply torn out, making the relacement twice the labor.
The tech told me whoever did this was quite familar with the inflator housing that mates the sodium azide inflator to the ring assembly then to the bag. He had seen cases before in which the dummies broke the ring assmbley, left which he said sort of defeats the idea of the theft in the place, as you must acquire a new assembly from Porsche in order for the bag to work. Because airbags are considered a Safety item, (for purposes of a call back) the vin numbers detail the specific assembly lot, and there are changes (revs) that occurr in the manufacturing process.
