Default Some new engine bay bolts

I replaced some oem bolts last week. I went to a local ACE hardware store and took a couple different size oem bolts with me to match up with new black chrome "allen head" bolts/washers. I like them and looks good; will probably add a few more here and there; expensive little Bast@rds! Since I can't use my strut bar due to sc kit, I wanted to fill those 6 threaded holes with nice looking bolts; would have gone with black chrome allen heads, but had a hard time finding them, so I ordered these chrome "hex flange" bolts online.

The strut bar bolts are M10-1.25(thread)x25mm(length), the 4 on top in front are M8-1.25, the smaller ones including 2 grounding bolts are (I think) M6-1.0 thread, plus a couple more M6 bolts. Hope you like 'em.


2 M8-1.25 bolts (bought 8) plus 3 smaller M6 (plus all washers) on both sides, above headlights:



2 (I think M6-1.0 thread) grounding bolts; dr. side along with 3 of the 6 M10-1.25 chrome strut bar bolts:


May be able to see some of these new "allen head" bolts (except for 6 "hex flange" strut bar bolts):

Thanks, the 8 M8's plus their washers ended up costing $5 ea.!

I had looked at some of the "kits" available, but some are over $200 just for engine bay, so I just wanted to replace some of the obvious oem hex head bolts; cost over $60, but that is basically it for now. I'll probably add a couple more though.
