      Standard Motor Products, Inc. (the "Company") is offering to exchange (the

Debentures due 2011 of the Company (the "New Debentures") for each $1,000

that the Company acquires in the Exchange Offer will be paid in cash upon

      The Exchange Offer is made on the terms and is subject to the conditions
set forth in the Company's Offer to Exchange dated March 20, 2009 (as may be
amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Exchange") and the
accompanying Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"). The Exchange
Offer is being made pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.

      We are asking you to contact your clients for whom you hold Old
Debentures. For your use and for forwarding to those clients, we are enclosing
copies of the Offer to Exchange, as well as a Letter of Transmittal and Notice
of Guaranteed Delivery for the Old Debentures. We are also enclosing a printed

      If a registered holder of Old Debentures desires to tender Old Debentures,
but such Old Debentures are not immediately available, or time will not permit
such holder's Old Debentures or other required documents to reach the Exchange
Agent before the Expiration Date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer
cannot be completed on a timely basis, a tender may be effected by following the
guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Exchange under the

      The Company will, upon request, reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial
banks and trust companies for reasonable and necessary costs and expenses
