STM (StreetTunedMotorsports) sells them as a set for the Valve Cover. You can also make up a set for yourself at a local hardware store. Ace Hardware has a lot of the Metric Cap Screws that I need to help clean up more of the engine bay.

I like the color, but honestly what is the purpose of that brace? Besides bling!

Good question. I don't know if it has any real benefit.... It does replace the crash beam so it obviously sheds some weight and it keep the Rad Support nice and Stiff.

i understand that it just shows your... personality i guess, and that you have got ***** to do what you want to.

like at the track its perfectly okay to have some crazy *** color scheme with your wheels or w/e. people know your only doing that to have fun. but when it comes to a DD i just think it would look a little strange to see a guy with purple parts on his car. i dont think the general public will understand the idea, and prob take it the wrong way. but hey i guess thats why you did it, cuz you dont care what people think and like it that way.

if thats the case then now i get it. i guess im part of that "general public" that just doesnt see it that way right off the bat. i either thought of it as... what kind of attention is this guy trying to get or is there a little feminine side here.

anyway back to the parts, i do like the way the power brace looks, good paint job on that
