Your all right. I got them at Autozone for $50. The Dealer has the drivers side for $89. The passenger side for $84.

I could not find these in town for any cheaper. I think Autozone has as good a service as Napa.

Becareful about what you buy at the "ZONE" because they seem like they are a direct importer of cheap import parts. Usually get what you pay for including the parts counter knowledge.

You have to watch brand names when you shop at any of these "discount" parts stores. But dollar for dollar, alot of times they will have the same part for much cheaper than a "Napa", because of volume, and that they cater to walk-in customers and not garages.

Yeah I've been screwed by the Zone and I've got decent parts for cheap too.

I guess case and point, if you want to walk into a parts store, and "blindly" take what parts they give you, then you might be better off at a Napa. If you know how to shop brands, or know when something is too cheap to be good, then you should be able to shop at places like the 'Zone.
