Where to find crimp caps for electornics?!?!

Anyone know of a major retail store (Walmart, Target etc.) that sells crimp caps for electronics installation? Tried to search websites but no luck. Anyone know?

Home Depot, Lowes, or any electrical supplier should have them locally.

What are crimp caps?

Any automotive wiring should be done properly. Crimps or wirenuts will loosen over time, especially in a Evo and you will be chasing your tail with electrical problems. I recommend always soldering and shrink wrapping all your connections.

Soldering is the preferred method, however many electrical connections can be made properly without solder. Stranded wire of course makes things more complicated, so you're better off soldering if you can.
