^Really?? Mine don't. That's kinda odd... you are using the ones that look "too small" right? (the 1NU85)

Here is the finished product. I think it came out pretty awesome! (It's not really finished, I just ran out of painted washers so I'm going to put the last few in tomorrow.)

^for the radiator support? They're the M8. Check the first post. You'll need a couple larger washers for them, but Allen's has them individually.

This is an awesome idea and the original write up is detailed and excellent. I'm learning new things/ideas to do to my car each day. The engine bay detail seems to be a great opportunity to set your car apart. I'm surprised there aren't more pics with this upgrade posted. Time to pick a color and then try and find the time to make it happen.
