    First off. Nobody makes an aftermarket long hood. Most are rusted and terrible. Impossible to ship

    I've bought brand new ones from the dealer. Perfect in every way. I live nearby so it's easiest to drop by and pick up but anything can be shipped to your door.

    Just a comment on dealer-supplied parts: Strongly advise counter pick-up, because I have seen many damaged/flawed parts delivered through the Porsche dealer parts supply. You need to inspect on site and refuse delivery of the bad parts.

    it's important to note that Porsche subcontracts part manufacture to outside vendors, and they may change vendors. So in the process of doing restorations, I have had parts arrive looking different from similar parts previously ordered (example being left & right rear S decos previously ordered for a LWB car. Left & right were completely different finishes).

    My point being the parts may indeed be flawless as Mark suggests, but that is not going to happen 100% of the time.
