Nuts, bolts, washers, screws...
I can't stand looking at them! They are nasty and ugly. Where can one get chrome/polished or black of the previously listed? I expect all the pimp engine bay god's have some secrets...

Funny you should ask this question. Today I was at Hill Co. where Steve and I get the Stainless steel and appearance washers. When I was talking to the guy there he mentioned that he had gotten another phone call to get the "Steve setup". LOL Ryan said he would really like to measure a 4th gen so he could build kits. Steve and I just carry in what we are are looking for and get the amount we need. So in a few weeks after Super Chevy here in So. Cal. I'm going to take my Camaro in and Ryan is going to check all the bolts in the engine bay and come up with a kit or kits with the correct bolts. I don't know how much they will cost or what the different kits will be but I figure I can make some suggestions like: fender kit, radiator support kit, hinge kit etc. You'll just have to decide on the type of bolt you want and color appearance washer (if you want them).
BTW - the black bolts you see are usually black oxide and start rusting fairly quick. I know because I've tried using some on my El Camino.

I concur, that would be a nice kit. Some nice chromies/polished, black, and red would all probably be popular colors. Maybe some pewter or silver if your feeling particularily fiesty for the day might come in handy as well.

Please update when you find something out, cause I'm getting ready to do this, and it would be alot easier to go out and buy the kit instead of having to go through all the trouble of finding out the sizes and lengths.

I'd be in too, just bought the Hotchkis Polished brace along with all the mba stuff and have a D1SC going on with a polished plenum, might as well start replacing bolts with "pretty ones" at this point lol
