**Walmart - Parts & Accessories Thread: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly**
Lately, I have been almost addicted to going to Walmart, and shopping for my Blazer in the Auto and Audio (I know I know) aisles. So far, pretty impressed. I probably spend on average, maybe $20 or so, per item, and I have yet to have anything negative to report. My last 2 purchases have been:
1. "Sport Performance" Seat Covers, by Auto Expressions - $20/each
4.5 out of 5 stars! That is if they stand the test of time....we shall see! Feels kinda like leather, definitely more comfortable than the factory cloth.
2. Sylvania Xtravision Headlights - right around $17
4 out of 5 stars. Much better lighting, as expected, but the improvement of my left/right field of view is what surprised me. Wasn't expecting it! Good Brand.
So.....Anybody else want to comment on some good (or bad) buys at the infamous SUPERSTORE?? Dumb idea for a thread??
I would be glad to hear all input, thanks...

I do not shop at walmart, so I wont be able to contribute to this conversation.. Walmart is a horrible corporation that does not care about its employees and drives small business out of town.
That being said... Will be interesting to see what others have gotten from there.

Agree 100%....but it doesn't bother me enough to where I will feel guilty for shopping there, lol....
Good point though!

I did have a negative experience there, to correct myself in the original post. Just now came to mind:
You never really hear anything positive when it comes to Walmart Car Audio, in general...is this pretty much accurate?
I would think so, and would have to agree with any statement along the lines of "stay away" or "avoid completely".
Which I should say, I did purchase a pair of 6x9 Scosche speakers, to replace the factory speakers in the rear.
Hmmm....maybe 2.5 out of 5 stars? Have since been replaced, fyi....
Price: Around $30 for the pair
Could tell NO difference between them and the factory cardboard "speakers".
Spend $20-30 more, and get some better, name-brand speakers, IMO. Well worth the investment.
In summary: RUN.
Thoughts??

LOL, thanks for the input!
Note to self: Stay away from the Gear Shifters, or at least, proceed with caution...
