here's a quick picture i took. i know its bad quailty. i'm really impressed with the condition and quality of these bolts. i got the polished ones.



i didn't bother putting the ones on the hood latch because i don't want to remove my cooling plate.

you should definitely order the burnt titanium ones. those would look sick.

^ Looks good man. Yeah I hear ya on the hood latch bolts. I went ahead and put mine on anyway for now. I had a CF Greddy diversion panel but it cracked when I hit a deer. So I put them on for now, but I plan on getting a Carbing rad panel to replace the GReddy one. So when that happens, I'll remove the bolts and find another spot to use them.

Do you have an ARC and Cusco catch can?

LOL yes i'm running dual catch cans but only the ARC is connected. I didn't feel like removing it because it fills up the space so nicely. maybe if i go boost then i'll take it out.

I totally agree with this, as well as the wheel choice!

The dressupbolt kit really adds a nice touch to the engine bay and even though alot of people dont agree with the price, I think its worth it. I recently changed up my blue titanium bolts to polished bolts and it took about 6 weeks to get everything.

Chris is a good guy, I'm sure he'll get back to you all soon. He got me my bolts originally with a week and a half so I'm sure he's just backed up or whatever like the other guy said^^^

update.. got an email confimation thru paypal today that my order has shipped.. so thats 2.125 business days from online checkout to shipping confirmation.. awesome.

I didnt get emails back this go around either.. the guy is indeed probably busy but the results stand for themselves on this order.. Id say send him your money if you want bolts w no worry.

edit.. i just got an email back from Chris:

"Brian,

Sorry for the late response. You caught me at a bad time I had to leave town unexpectedly for a death in my wifes family.

I'm glad your order was shipped on time during my absence. Please let me know if there is anything else you might need in the future I'll be happy to assist you."



never fun when these things happen.. but certainly a 100% valid reason to be light n the email replies.

Again, still a green light for anyone looking to order.

indeed. deatschwerks 300 pump was tapped out .. just put in a walboro 400, but my gas sending unti is hosed, so were just waiting on that part to get in so we can mod the basket and get it back to tuning.

SO far it has been the most "mechanical gremlin/problem free" build they can recall. zero problems leaks or issues so far.
