  Hi folks,

  I need some tips where most people go to search for car accessories.

  Which shops are popular and where are they.

  Ideally, they should have good range of products and good customer service and reliable.

  I went to a famous carmart and they sell only cars without accesories. Somehow they separate the business.

  any tips would be much appreciated.

  Thankyou!

  you mean they take away accesories that came from the factory for their own profit?

  Car Accessories - Add on enhancements do you mean?

  There's this shop at Syed Alwi Road, just by the corner of McDonalds and they carry a whole range of add ons to your ride.

  Stuff like their full range of LED bulbs, all those accessory stuff you find in the megamarts like Giant, solar films, car mats, gauges, grounding wire, antenna wire...and the list goes on..

  Stumbled upon that shop a couple of months ago when I was driving around and decided to have a look as add on parts for my car are just not easy to source, esp from the megamarts.

  Price is reasonable too!

  Been there, seen that, no good. Not specialty shop. Just an ordinary common and limited variety corner in Giant.

  I am looking for a real professional specialty shop for car accessories which includes any accessories not found in standard factory-made cars.

  Specialty and Variety are what I am looking for.

  Thanks very much for suggesting anyway.

  Well, for a start, things like the poly black box, which I was asking for more info in another thread.

  Sorry, maybe my definition of accessories is too wide. I mean the normal accessories like HID lamps and convex mirrors but also anything else like add-on devices, tools and things like decals and stickers of any sorts. Variety. To have variety varied enough, this shop should be a specialty shop.

  Thanks.

  I think they do not open on Sundays! Did you have a look today?

  That shop there is a good try, otherwise you might want to try Block 301, Ubi Avenue One. Similar Concept but more focus on electronic enhancements.
