Are there any manufacturers who have stainless hardware for body trim and panels? My 89 has the greenwood package and the bolts are looking a little tired and rusty.
I've gotten interior screw kits before, just wondering if anyone produces an exterior one in stainless
I've been wanting to swap out hardware in a lot of places as well.
I just wish there was an actual hardware store around here. I miss real hardware stores.
The hardware sold at chain stores like Lowe's and Home Depot is cheap imported garbage most of the time and in those little bister packages where even if you did use them for anything you only get like four pieces.
I understand your pain, I feel the same way, not wanting to replace with hardware store Chinese junk. Looking for a quality set with accurate size and a pressed in fixed washers.
Believe it or not, one of the farm stores around me (Tractor Supply) is a good place to buy fasteners, bolts, nuts, etc., if you know what you're looking for. They have every bolt I've needed in stainless or in grade 5 or 8. Pressed-in fixed washers, idk, never looked. Also, local ACE store has very helpful people and decent selection. Fastenal should be able to match your stuff, but my local Fastenal has never been very helpful.

Try these guys: https://shop.totallystainless.com/
They carry indented head bolts in stainless that are blackened to resemble OEM fasteners. They may have just what you need.
I got a kit from totallystainless for a 95 Impala SS. It had a lot of the same or similar fasteners. I used it for all the inner fender liners and some other locations. Not sure if they make a specific c4 kit now or not. This was several years ago.
I would be amazed if you find fasteners manufactured in the US. If you do, please post that info in this thread. Almost everything you need for your C4 is made across the pond. I know there are some quality parts made in China, but a lot it is garbage.
