It's %20-50 as I know of right now. Some stuff you can find cheaper, some stuff is a little cheaper. Figure in shipping cost from online retailers and some tax and stuff at SA comes out cheaper.

Nitrous dry kit was $192, sounded pretty good. Lots of stuff still there, I had to get an air freshener though

They said the tentative last date is April 4 but most likely would change

Because I am older than most of you, I have seen many auto accessory businesses fold for many years. It is very sad because it is nice to be able to actually see and touch a part before buying. Not to mention that when you are hangin with your car buddies and just want to cruise somewhere these stores offer a welcome diversion. Buying parts online is generally cheaper, but online retailers seldomly have to stock inventory. Most people who work at Autobacs or like businesses are car enthusiests like all of us, and this just means a few less jobs for our fellow friends. Hopefully our country will pull itself out of this economic funk and new oppertunities will arise for accessory superstores.

Hate to revive an old topic but I got an email from Autobacs this morning and it looks like the Stanton store is under new ownership and is now open

One of that I became friends with in school his family bought Super Autobacs and are going to keep the Stanton store open, but the Covina will remina closed.

I told him a couple times that he should cater to the Scion crowd more and not just honda and nissan and other brands. Also to try and lower the prices over all.
