cinder? seriously? last time i checked cinder comes from volcanic ash...
road salt is calcium chloride... which shouldn't damage carbon fiber since a hood is clearly not made of water....

home depot run 's are always fun, especially for random bolts lol

*edit*
in fact I didn't even say anything about sun fade.

Stop trying to save face. You made a retarded statement.

My POS vis hood is warped and only 3 bolts thread in.

I made a logical statement and backed it up. No one goes wakes up and says "yes its winter time to put my cf on!". if anyone made a dumb comment it was manly miata asking why you wouldnt put a c/f hood on.

Honduh 02-25-2009 04:17 AM

I could she her in winter........"oh look a salt truck, lets get behind it!"

Same with your English..

She asked why does it matter when you put a CF hood on.. Are you the exterior modification police or something :screwy:

Oh jeez like you are one to talk about busting peoples balls. Get over yourself.

What the OP can also do is go buy one of those variety nut/bolt boxes from any auto part store and have fun with it. Will probably save him from posting something similar if an occasion comes along where OE size don't fit.


And I swipe his prescription twice a week and I'm fine...you should try some.

whenever i lose bolts and regular hardware stores dont have any, i usually get my bolts from boltdepot.com. they have a huge selection of metric or standard bolts. tons of different styles and grades.

TROLL 02-25-2009 07:13 AM

Give it a rest guys... on topic or dont post.

Original poster... its almost definitely going to be metric, so either go buy a kit or buy a variety of bolts. Keep in mind that there is the bolt size, thread pitch, and length, and you have to get them all right. If you can it might be best to contact the manufacturer to see if they can tell you what the proper size is. Whatever you do dont force it. You could strip threads if they're wrong, or if the bolt is too long you'll dimple the top side. Good luck...
