Specialized Stainless is a top notch company! *PICS* (numerous member responses) Specialized Stainless is a top notch company and Steve does a great job. Every e-mail I sent was replied to within hours, if not minutes. The bolts were awesome quality. I was a bit nervous spending $100 on bolts, but after I installed them and saw how my engine bay looked, it was all worth it.
I just realized I have no before pics, but let me say I had some bolts that were rusted since the car was an East Coast car for the first part of its life. I was embarrassed to put my hood up since I am a perfectionist and I hate seeing corroded and rusty bolts. Not any more!
When I opened the box containing my bolts, I figured there would be one huge bag with all the bolts and nuts I needed and I would have to figure out where each bolt went. That was NOT the case. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box to see each bolt was labeled and all I have to do was look at the directions to see where each bolt went. This made the project so much easier.
And here is a crappy pic of the engine bay this morning at a local car hangout. Many people commented on how clean my engine bay was.

Yea, I'm really happy with it too.
Only thing I can see improving is adding a polished stainless nut for the ground cables located below the Meguiar's sticker on the right side and the left side of the engine bay.
