i love the look of the ss emblems on the bolts.

What I did was mail them 1 of each bolt I needed throughout my engine bay and told them how many of each and they hooked me up. But anyway, as they had my bolts they started getting alot of calls from people wanting a set. So they used a few of mine to get a set together, but Rob(Poltergeist) actually took his car their and they measured his bolts, nuts, etc to get a kit together. So once I saw Rob's car and Steven's(Steve1969LS1) car, I had to order. But to help everyone out here a little, the order # for the kit was LS1-CH-1. If they still have it. And also the forum post that's 14 pages long almost 3 years ago. Look about halway down in the post for individual parts. Pricey, but worth it. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...&page=10&pp=20

I ordered them through Hillco but now I remember, they got them from Gardner - Wescott.

I just used bolt caps, and i think it turned out pretty nice. I bought the spectre 10mm ones.

I have a bunch left if anyone's interested. Probably about 10 packs (I bought a surplus of them off ebay for cheap)

I'd be up for a group buy. I'm using the caps as well but the hillco stuff is really nice. I just can't bring myself to spend that much on bolts and washers.

I have the Hillco kit on my SS...it's very high quality and comes nicely organized in individual "kits" for various things. Included are kits for the radiator shroud, PCM, hood hinges, hood latch, strut tower, throttle cable bracket, fenders, headlight brackets, front facia support, power steering pulley, and license plate. You also have a choice of color for the aluminum appearance washers. I highly recommend it...
