Engine bay bolt kit? I thought I remember seeing that someone made engine bay bolt kits for 98+ F-bodies. Anyone have any info on these? I'm primarily concerned with headlight bracket bolts, fender bracket bolts and stuff like that since my enigine bay doesn't really have much else left in it other than a motor. lol. If I can't find anything I'm going to have to have the stock junk plated.

Very nice stuff but it cost a little $$. Once I repaint the whole car and redo my motor I'm going to get a kit

What comes with the $215 Hillco kit? Prices aren't bad, I think I really only need the headlight, radiator shroud, fender, and bumper support kits. Would like bolts for the PCM too though.
How do chrome plated bolts hold up? This car is routinly taken apart for all kinds of reasons. I would like polished stainless but I think it would be more maintenace than chrome. As it is now, I spend to much time rubbing this car.

Pretty much everything from the headlight brackets to the hood struct brackets to the PCM to the throttlebody and so on. They also sell individual kits for specific items like the headlight brackets or bumper support brackets.
My chrome bolts have held up well.

Yeah, I will probrably peice a kit togethor. My engine bay is pretty bare, no accessories, hood hardware, or any other factory junk. After thinking about it I think I'll go with stainless or polished stainless. They don't have to be super shiney, just look clean.

The Hillco kit is pretty nice. I just wish that it came with intake manifold, valve cover, and water pump bolts. They are pretty durable as well. I am always tearing into something under the hood and I have yet to screw any of them up.
