Default Where to get bolts for engine bay?

I've been looking around trying to find some bolts to replace the ugly stock bolts in the engine bay. I know there's a place, I just can't find it.

Where does one get these?

Steve, how much do they run price wise? I sent them a email, but is there anything I can tell them to describe them better?

300bucks?

the washers are 11.50 for 10, or 1.30each. Thats the red ones, but then you have to buy the chrome AN washers which are .30 each give or take. I dunno how much the bolts are but the lady said you have the rethread the holes for them since they arent metric. I just want the red and chrome washers. Ill get chrome caps from summit or something

I just want enough to do those bolts around the frame and outta edge of engine bay so thats roughly 20.

You also might try these guys. I have some LS1 stuff from them off of ebay and its very nice. Some shiny socket-head screws made of stainless would also look nice under the hood.

$300.. well maybe.. at $125ish per a bowtie bolt and $1.50 average for red annodized alum washers it does add up.. plus I replaced ALOT of the hardware around the car with stainless.. You could probley make a big difference in appearance for less than $100 in hardware
