I think that they really finished off the set up. The oem bolts were just silver in color and after I painted the strut bar it looked terrible with the oem ones, even after I painted the heads. That's just my opinion of coarse.

I'm glad you were able to swap your order OP. Plus you got good tips on bolts.

I got to order a set of washers for my TPIS strut bar kit just need to figure out the bolt head size.

I shall keep that in mind. That black looks really cool, so, I have a nice direction to look forward to.

Thank you. They were really cool about canceling my original order. Even they figured out it was the wrong one when prepping the order.

I just looked this up. I am guessing you don't have the predrilled holes on your car. That kit is crazy expensive, but I am sure someone will be able to get you.

Here’s a $7 solution for bolts as well. Although I’ve spent a stupid amount of money on this car over the years, couldn’t bring myself to spend $50 on 6 bolts. A couple bucks for recessed finish washers at Home Depot and a few dollars on the hex bolts at my local hardware store. Car's been through shows and weekend shenanigans and track days, 0 issues, they still look as great as the day I installed them. Can’t remember the size of the bolts though.
