Default Vararam Install - Specific Question

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me out....I need to know what size the screws that come with the Vararam are, as I do not have them. Also, if installing on a Z06, are the sizes any different? Any specific help would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

The only screws that come w/the Vararam are the ones that go through the plate that holds the two air tubes togeather, right at the area of the filter placement. Hope this helps.

The only other screws are the ones that hold your foglight shrouds on, which should already be on your car.

Thanks for the responses guys. I guess I'm confused as I've seen a few pictures with 2 sizes of screws on the fog lamp connection parts of the Vararam. I also read that when installing on a Z06, use the "shorter screws". Am I just in a smog induced haze?

Thanks!

I too, have an 03 Z. On mine, there are 4 screws, each side on the back side facing towards the rear of car. They are directly behind the s/s screen location. These are the screws that you use, and they are built into the fiber glass.

Yes there are 2 sets of screws and some spacers/washes to adjust the angles of the fog light mounts but in my case which is a 99 I just used the stock bolts with no spacers.
