Hey,

Check Autozone or Kragen. They usually have a rack full of different screws, nuts, bolts, plastic fasteners.

I bought a pack of plastic panel plugs that had like 8-10 plugs in it for $3. I cut the stem off of each one and used some double sided tape to fasten it to the car. You can even paint them to match your car. Cheap mod to cover up those holes. Gives it a little more of a finished look.

Excellent. Had to do a little work to get it to fit but guess that's part of the game. Almost a direct bolt on. Got it painted and put on.

Here's a pic of what she looks like so far. Back end of the car is getting put on this weekend. Hood is next.

Thanks - I'll look into it - I might leave it to balance the new bumper I'm putting on (Cervini's C-Series) but eventually I gotta do something with it
