fapp99 is the parts guy I have used for a few years now. All of his parts of
brand name and usually OEM manufacturers. I use him for parts because I can
buy Audi parts for the price of Chebby parts and usually have them in 2 days
and they are good parts and he knows his parts and he does own a '92 S4.
