Default Valve cover nuts/bolts

The accorn nuts/bolts(whichever they are) on my valvecover are butt ugly and I have seemed to lose one. Anyone know where I can get nice chromy ones at?

This is a longshot here, but I was thinking that Honda or Acura might have them. Don't quote me though.

It's obvious that the part can be obtained from the dealer, but I believe the bolts aren't CHROME. I want pretty ones. I've tried Lowes, Home Depot, etc...Is there a place that carries nicer looking bolts? Doesn't ARP or APR have chrome nuts now?

Are you sure? Because I swear they come chrome on the ITR. You might just have to specify that it is for an ITR. The nuts and the grommets are chrome.

The nuts are just normal gray on the valve cover.

I really don't wanna pay like 3 bucks a bolt and watch the chrome fade off of them again. Isn't there some aftermarket company that may have ones that would stay pretty?
