And, in line with this, does anyone have any experience with
blauparts.compart site?  Their prices seem pretty good and they are
fairly close to me in Wisconsin (to reduce the shipping charges).
Thanks for listening!

Thom,
In addition to Kneale's mention of autohausaz.com, you should also visit worldimpex.com for parts that autohausaz doesn't list, or for "dealer only" parts.  Their staff is knowledgeable and their prices are very competitive.  They will match prices from other places, as I did this with heater core hoses for my 4kq.  Worldimpex is in Maryland.

I find shopping with Blau is a chore.  Their automated phone system is torture and some of their sales reps aren't very sharp.  Also, the reps don't have ETKA in front of them, just the Blau internal parts numbering and x-referencing system.

HTH
