Already had the dress up kit but I broke a bolt removing the fender the other day. Re-ordered the whole kit, just to have it on hand (it's so cheap!).

Total came to $17.02 before shipping!

Thanks for the thread!

This thread is awesome, made ordering what you need a breeze, thanks man!

On one hand, it's great to be rid of all those rusted, crappy looking bolts under hood. On the other, I think I'm up to 5 bolts broken so far, hahah. Mostly rusted completely out. Somehow broke 3 fender bolts on the passenger side though, which still puzzles me, no corrosion what-so-ever, they just sheared off like wet cardboard....

what size for the COP bolts?

One of my bolts for the COP came off and was wondering what size did you used from the kit for the COP?

I couldn't tell you, I make my own COP kits so my bolts are going to be different sizes than Spoolinup or Sparktech

The nuts are 14mm nuts I believe

Bolts are at least M10 (M8 is too small), maybe M12 though
