Did you call and order? Was the total $254 with tax and shipping? What color appearance washer did you go with on your red car?

yes, called and ordered, didn't even ask about the total since it was previously quoted, and I went with the polished washers...I think the anodized red would have been too contrasting from the red body color.

If some reason I don't like them, I'll work out some deal to swap them I'm sure.

they said they had enough instock to fill some orders right away, so better hop to it unless you are willing to wait...I'm still hoping to have mine all on before the big July 4th car show.

We'll I guess as long as you don't get a GTO shifter and **** our cars won't be 100% the same...and we do have different build numbers and such. Plus I haven't gotten around to doing the FRC's yet, so your still up.

i just helped a buddy with his engine bolts and the black appearence washers give a very subtle look. its not quite as flashy or noticable as the red ones (we tried both btw) you really have to look close to even notice that they are there.

This just in from the corrections department at Hillco: kit price is $216.95. And, as requested, here are the components:
LS1-BBK-CH(bracket to bumper support)-$9.95
LS1-BSK-CH(bumper support kit) -$16.95
LS1-CPU-CH(CPU) -$7.25
LS1-FK-CH(fender kit) -$39.95
LS1-HHK-CH(hood to hinge, hinge to body)-$59.95
LS1-HLK-CH(hood latch) -$8.50
LS1-PSK-CH(power steering) -$3.25
LS1-RSK-CH(radiator support) -$31.50
LS1-SK-CH(strut kit) -$20.75
LS1-TBK-CH(throttle body kit) -$28.95
If you add these up, it comes out to $227, but we'll sell it as a complete kit for, as listed above, $216.95, and we'll pay the freight. To recap, the price of $254.95 has been reduced to $216.95, freight included. Any components you'd like to order are available as listed above, freight not included.

Here are some other items, also in chrome button-heads:
LS1-HPK2-CH(2-bolt head plate kit)-$8.95
LS1-HPK4-CH(4-bolt head plate kit)-$17.90
LS1-LPK-CH(rear license plate kit) -$6.75
LS1-STB-H1(Hotchkis strut tower brace)-$8.50
LS1-STB-H2(Hotch. strut tower w/ repacement bolts-$8.25.

There's more on the way. A stainless-steel(unpolished kit) will be available soon, for around $130.00. Remember, they are unpolished, very dull, and will require polishing to look sharp. Polishing is dirty, hard work. Polished stainless will probably be as much(if not more) than chrome. Thanks again for all your patience, guys. have a great weekend. God bless America.

Hillco,

Thank you for the reply, that was more than I expected but it is greatly appreciated. If some of these do not fit on the T/A front end will we be able to ship them back for a replacement size? Or am I just thinking out of my *** here?

Thanks again for the list! I think I'll order a few at a time if possible.

If it's too much for you, I'll take them off your hands, should be just about perfect for me. You just can't have too much polished on a black car

Thanks for the kits Hillco! I'm going to have to start replacing the bolts in mine piece by piece, I can't spend $200 at one time on bolts unless it was for the engine... my wife would kill me!

So tell her it's for the engine. My wife tunes out after about 5 minutes of car talk, and I often use that to my advantage!
