When I was a kid, there was several upscale car accessory stores near where I lived. They were the ultimate for a car guy stuck at the mall while the women shopped. They sold things like steering wheels not made by Grant, shift knobs that weighed more than a gram, personalized license plate frames, clothing with logos from companies like Ferrari and Porsche, racing (or racing inspired) seats, the high end car models, etc. I remember going in and frequently sitting in the different Recaro and Momo demo seats.
Do these type of shops exist anymore, or has the Internet killed all but Autozone?
We had in Grand Prairie!
There was another place in Hurst forget the name.......

Now like POS mentioned, there are several stand alone places... but none you could just meander in to while the is out shopping... at least none I've ever seen.

At this point, it would be nice to at least have a list of a few places locally where you could actually try a racing seat, or pick up a momo wheel on a whim rather than waiting for them to order it for you.
That said, the places I went to back in CA were located with the purpose of capturing the husband trapped on a shopping trip. One was at an indoor mall and the other 2 were in upscale strip malls. I could see one fitting nicely sandwiched between a Linens and Things and a Bombay Company.
Click Me!! I drove past one of these in California when I was there. Yes I know its not local.

Isn't there some sort of accessory place on 183 in Irving, I've driven past it a couple hundred times but have never stopped.
