Chrome Screw Source?
I am looking for chrome screws for under the hood and trunk. Ecklers, Corvette Central, etc., have them for $75-$80. Has anyone found a source for these other than the Corvette catalogs? Thanks in advance.
Here is the link to Eckler's offering:

What about matching them up at a good hardware store...True Value has a large selection of chrome screws

Try a motorcycle parts counter at a metric dealer...NOT Harley Davidson..they are SAE. Also look up JP Cycles, JC Whitney,

You can get them in Torx, but then you are looking at major $$$. $80 for the front, $35 for the doors, $45 for the trunk. Since I am not doing a factory restoration, I am fine with philips.

The stock black screws were getting a white pitting on them.
Plus Stainless lasts longer than chrome. It all depends on the quality of the chrome plating. I went with stainless for this reason.
Good luck
