I am making some stuff for my gear and I am wondering if someone has a recommendation about where to buy plastic buckles and webbing on the internet. My local places don't have a whole lot of choice.

Two that I have used are Reef Scuba (www.reefscuba.com/ropewebbing.htm) for webbing, and REI (www.rei.com) for plastic quick release buckles and triglides. There are quite a few others that carry one or both, I just have recent personal online experience with both of these.
Along the same lines, The Rain Shed in Corvallis, Oregon (my home until recently) is a favorite source of mine. Very nice folks, good selection, great service.
Depending on how much webbing you are looking to buy, Rochford Supply is a great source but it is really geared to folks that buy a bulk 100 yards +, at really inexpensive prices. You can purchase black polypro webbing for about $21 for 100 yards. They require a $50 minimum order.
I have used Seattle Fabrics as well and I like their selection of colors. Their dive belt webbing is soft at first but over time mine became rather stiff. I think the cloth-like webbing that Dive Rite uses on its harnesses is better but it only comes in black.
