DIY: DressUpBolts Engine Bay Bolt Kit
lol...waste of time and money.Made your Z look cheap.
If you did anything like a dress up of bolts ...use s/s or chrome.
That would give a classy expensive look.
Ever see this kinda stuff of a Ferrari,Aston,Lambo engine?
There are 3 types of Z owners:
PURISTS(everything matches/the mods...the design flows)
"FAST&FURIOUS GUYS(has about 30+ mods on the engine list)
GLITZ(the flashier the better/20" wheels...wild colors)
This is definetely GLITZ

No particular reason, Flo. I had the choice of any color washer and bolt. I just wanted the stainless washer and blue-ti bolt. I actually am second guessing it, and curious if I should have went with both blue...
For the torque wrench guys like me, are the torque specs for any of the bolts important?. If so is the seller leaving them to the installer to comb through the user manual to find them?. They look good.
I'm flattered you went through the trouble of photoshopping that!
As for the torque specs, those are not included in the install instructions so I suppose if you are insistent on returning all the bolts and nuts to their proper torque, you should look up all the specs in the FSM. I've removed and replaced my strut bar countless times, and that is probably the most structural thing in the entire replacement of bolts that I'd be worried about not being torque'd to spec.

I ordered some bolts from dressupbolts last week and I could not be happier with this company. I got my package in less than a week and the bolts look great. I wish I knew about these guys before I went with ballerbolts last year because that was nothing but a 3 month long headache.
Price seems kinda high, but I will tell you, I have bene replacing and swapping out the "plastic pop retainer clips" and would love a fullltime suitable substitute that isn't cheap looking and a PITA 1/2 the time....Nissan loves em, Maximas, Z's everything from them I have owned!?

120 bolts 50 M10 washers.
For the professional look you would need to grind the lettering off the face (power drill w/emery disc) then finish the top with a buffing wheel....or just leave the bolts as they are.
By far the best value around!
It's OK now!

Let's see some photos man! I am about to order some of the Burnt Ti ones from Chris soon, hopefully to replace some of the bolts on the plenum, and I was thinking about replacing the bolts on my cusco cage with burnt Ti bolts as well. We shall see!
