see Im lacking on terminology, there are two parts to the hood latch, the actual latch part and the other that looks like a metal loop, and I need the bolt size to both of them.

Ok the part on the body is held on with two M8-1.5 bolts that are 3/4" long.
The part on the hood is held on with two M8-1.5 bolts that are 7/8" long.
I just got in from looking at them.
The two on the hood have slightly bigger washers and a point.
The two on the body have washers and a short unthreaded part on the end.

Cool your the man dude!
One more thing...
on my hood there are 2 pieces, the one in the second pic you posted, and another part next to it that has the latch on it that you pull on to open the hood, what are the sizes of bolts for that part?

Oh yea, forgot about those. They are M6.
6 MM not sure of the thread, it's the most common thread pitch on all bolts that have 10mm hex heads on these cars. They are about 3/4" long too.

I need one bolt like the pointed one in the second picture. know where I can get one (the exact one with the correct head/washer)?
I removed my latch and one snapped off. I need to drill it out and retap it now.
