No it won't. You'll have to go w/ ARP for those due to liability. Sorry

That's a possibility. I'll have to see if I could break the kit up and still not make it look like only half your engine bay is polished stainless

I really like those! Let me know when the Firebird set comes out! If I get you the info can I get the two bolts and washers on for the Suncoast Creations intake?

I really don't think this is a disscussion, he was asking who is interested in him making a kit for us with great looking replacement bolts at a price he can do. IMO if you don't like the price then don't buy it but I know I will pay for it.

I'll jump in on this one.. I was one of the first people to buy the LS1 "Beauty Washers" and bolt set from Hilco which helped Steve1969LS1 and Poltergeist originally come up with the kit. For most of the bolts(not the intake as they were supplied by ARP), the kit cost me $237.00 plus shipping.
Now granted, they included chrome AN washers along with the anodized "beauty" washer or ring, as they call it, in your choice of color. But
from what I see, $100 ain't too bad of a price if it's fairly complete kit.

It's like anything else, if you want to take the time to measure and assemble all the different bolts and washers in the different lengths and sizes, then yes you can probably get it cheaper. However, this sponsor is offering a service that sends you a kit in a bag and eliminates all the guesswork.

Thank you for that And when you guys talk about going to the hardware store or bolt supply shop and buying stainless bolts, washers, and nuts their not going to be anywhere near a polished finish and probably have raised letters & numbers on them

Oh, and DisturbingDaPeaze I'd like to know where you bought your kit and if you have any pics of them? Thanks

They are the two bolts and washers on the intake just before the MAF.
