Problem is the OEM screws are like $4 each from GM. Sometimes you are lucky and get a $1 one but not often. I'll check the price tomorrow or Monday and work up a chrome price for them. You talking about all of them?

I just did the complete chrome screw & bolt kit from Chip at CCA on my pewter ragtop... Very happy how it looks too. I don't think that I would do the wheel wells though but that is just me for I don't think that it would last...

I originally got my set from Design Specialties and they were the actual GM screws and they were expensive. I'd do it again though...I just don't like the look of the phillips head screws being offered now.
Jason..you probably have another product to add to the list!

I don't know which is worse - that you did it, or that you admit it? Tell me you didn't do the differential vent plug too!!!
