Default 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...

Talking

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.

Definately in for that. It's hard as hell to order from them over the phone or internet. Getting around all that, they should sell many of these kits.

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.

That would have been me that called them. I am guilty. I didn't know exactly the name of the show style anodized washers so I mentioned Steve's type washers and he knew exactly who and what I was talking about. Anyway I mailed off all my bolts and nuts that were different sizes so they can hook me up. Hopefully I ordered the right styles. They can figure out the sizes for me.

I also called last week and ordered a bunch of Bowtie bolts from them. I also mentioned Steve's car. A kit would be awsome.

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

From what i hear the bowtie bolts aren't the same thread as whats on the car. So do you really have to drill out the old threads and re-thread them? seems like a lot of work!

It's not really that difficult at all. I just ran a 1/4 20 non coarse thread tap through the bolt hole. No drilling required.
