found a place online that in not a sponsor, i just google searched "chrome bolts" and it came up with this http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...q=chrome+bolts .... im not sure on pricing but check um out.. it looks like they would have any bolt/nut/screw/rivet/fastner you would ever need... i may need to do this really soon.... 99% of the bolts you would be replacing have 10mm heads and im not sure about length or thread pitch, but this could be found out pretty easily (just go to a hardware store and compare)

Thats my engine bay posted and I picked up all the chrome bolts at Ace Hardware.

All of the chrome bolts are M6's. You just need to find the lengths for each bolt.
Each bolt, washer, nut runs $1-2 per. Its gonna add up fast, so be prepared.

Thanks for the compliments as well.

You can also just use stainless bolts from Home Depot/Lowe's - also Jegs/Summit sell bolt caps in chrome and other anodized colors.

i went to ace hardware today and they would have to special order them , for 12 6mmx 25mm and 6 6mm x 20mm (all buttonhead and chrome) and for 18 washers (also chrome) it totaled out to around 75 bucks after a 20% discount so i said f-that and i found some from a non sponsor website for way less then that $1.24 each for the chrome buttonhead bolts and the chrome washers for .44 each

30.24 before shipping.... and there are alot more then 18 bolts that i want to do, but i was planning on doing a section at a time (fenders, headlight bolts, and the 2 bolts on the bumper supports on this strike)... i may just do them all at once since im not gonna be getting them from ace harware anymore.... i may call hillco to see if they still offer the complete kit since their online section is under const.

Told you it wasn't going to be cheap

On a serious note though, be sure to post up pics once you get some installed and glad you found them at a cheaper price
