C5 Underhood Chrome Bolts
Hey guys, I have a question I was hoping someone might be able to answer...
I'm looking to replace the bolts and washers that hold down my radiator shroud with new chrome bolts and washers, as well as the nuts and washers (I think they are one piece) that hold down the hood hinges to the frame with chrome ones.
Would anyone know where I can get these or perhaps know the correct sizes so I can find them myself? (I did find a company called Boltdepot.com that has chrome bolts, but without knowing the correct size, thread count, and length, it's hard to get the correct ones.)
Thanks in advance!

You may be able to take one bolt of each type to a local hardware store and figure out what you need. Most hardware stores have templates that show you the length and thread info. They would all be metric as far as I know.

Thanks for the help. I took the screws to a Home Depot and sized everything up. Below are a before and after photo of what I replaced. What a big difference just swapping out screws and washers make!
I was able to get the chrome bolts, washers and nuts from boltdepot.com.
(And in case anyone is curious about the sizes, the bolts for the radiator shroud are M6 X 1.0 X 1". The nuts for the hood hinges are M8 X 1.25.)
