when i get home tonite from work/school i'll try to fit some of my hardware onto the pop rivet-

worse comes to worse, you can drill those out and replace them with the correct size with the bolts that came with it.

no. you drill out the pop rivet- and replace with a new one- not installing new holes..

all you need to do it remove the backing of the rivet and insert- not too hard, you can use a dremel..

this is how you can move pedistals for CF wings wider and move / install vertical stabilizers.. which i might suggest for even more oneoff-ish-ness. (new word!)

Alex, are you sticking with the Greddy exhaust even though you're going with the APS Extreme kit? I was just wondering if you'd planned to eventually go with the APS 3" kit and what that meant as far as fitament with the diffuser.

I sold my HKS Hi-Power Ti true dual because of the extreme kit, and yes I bought the Greddy just for the extreme kit. I'm aiming for high power output, yes, but not to compromise TOO much streetability and sound...and I really hate how loud the 3" pipes are.

OT - Cheston, you're not helping my situation by putting up those 3 new pics of the front bumper.

They look sooooooo good!

nitro:

good news: i have multiple bolts that fit the thread.
bad news: i dont know what size they are haha..

well. using a ruler,
i measured thread peak to peak, ~ 1.25mm.. giving the thread pitch to be M1.25.. i think this is classified as a 'fine' thread... so look for a bolt that has the thread diameter,approximately 5mm

if i have time i'll drop by Home Depot Racing Dept and double check.. but that should be good enough on your end to pick up a bolt-.. i'd suggest getting the matching locknut too---
