As far as torque goes, torque it by hand with an allen wrench turned the long way (the low torque way) or a hand screwdriver with an allen tip, and you'll get it just about perfect.
Wouldn't hurt to throw a little lock-tite on the end of the bolts.

Yes I have the 5/16 mentioned above. I think your idea with the allen wrench is a good one. I've had my spacer off and on several times and I've installed several here on other people's cars so I have a good idea of how they feel when they get tightened just right. Still might go by allen wrench adapters for the torque wrench, that sounds magical.

^Just make sure it's an inch-lb torque wrench. They're spec'd for very little torque.
If you have a 5/16, the sizes you want should be
10 or 11 (can't remember for sure) m6x1.0 35mm
3x m6x1.0 50mm
4x m6x1.0 70mm
(IIRC)
Oh, also... if you pick up a random assortment of m6x1.0 25mm and m6x1.0 16mm that will do most of the other bolts around the fenders/etc... and the 4 big ones (12mm socket size) that hold the radiator support are m8x1.25 16mm
The two nuts on the plenum are m6 and the 6 nuts (3 each side) for the top of the strut towers are m8x1.25

^Like mine? You can't, that was the custom part.
For the socket-head ones, that same site I posted does have some really pretty chrome flat-washers... if you want color though, about your only remaining option is this site: http://www.galleryfresh.com/6.html but be forewarned, they're hella-expensive, and they don't have a kit specifically for the G (Z kit is close, but there are bolts it has that you won't need, and bolts you'll need that it doesn't have)

^Not that I'm aware of... but IDK, never ordered from them ![Dunno](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
You could always get password JDM: http://passwordjdm.com/PasswordJDM-E...ries-C455.aspx
But they're even more expensive (and also not JDM
)
