here is a tip to save some money from people trying to sell you some.

<br/>

I bought them from ACE HARDWARE store for 19 cents a piece.

also you can paint them to with this



save some money.

 

 

didnt know they had them at ACE Hardware.. thanks

lol, nice.

Also found mounting brackets and bolts at lowes for my front lip.

Saving money

 

looks good

 

nice diy , but it must be nice not to have anything else better to do with you time...

 

Good find!!

 

 

Here is a post i put in the engine bay thread a while back. Just wanted to put it in this thread in case anyone wanted to know where to order them online.

I had a little time off of work and this is what boredom has brought. I wanted a cheap, simple project and saw that this bolt question gets asked all the time. So this is what I came up w/.

This is the link for the flat head allen bolts (m6 x 20) the pic shows it not threaded the whole way but it is. Only .19 cents each!!

This is the link for the countersunk stainless washer. The allen bolt sets perfectly inside of it. Only .08 cents each!!!

Here are a couple pics for reference...I'll get a better shoot up when the bay and lighting are better suited.

For the anodized look I just used Duplicolors MetalCast system. I stuck the bolts in a piece of cardboard and sanded the heads w/ 400 grit. Then just followed the directions on the cans.





Plain...3 ground coats...4 anodized coats



All in all it is a cheap easy way to show some attention to detail. Hope this helps!

 

Looks like passwordJDM won't be making anymore money on these anymore...

They will because people don't have the time or patience to do this for themselves.

Nice job though OP.

KYLE.ECKERT was the first person (that I know of) to do this. He was doing this months ago...

Props to the OG OP.

 

post some pics of what you bought, so we know what brand and what to look for.

 

Dude, you can't be a baller and save money. It doesn't work like that.

you are a moron. painting washers or adding exterior/interior/suspension/motor parts is totally different? youre doing it for yourself retard!

 

Can't you get this at Lowes?

 

so these are big enough to replace 10mm bolts? what about bigger sizes?

probably not

lowes has an awful selection of nuts/bolts/washers.

ACE has a TON more.
