Default Need help with PIAA install on Z06

Ok, Ive got brackets, but being a Z06, I dont have the stock bolts and for that matter, cant find the hole in the frame where they're supposed to go. Can anybody help me out. The install directions in the tech tips arent very clear. Thanks

The holes in the front absorber for the nuts are hex shaped you need to order the part # listed for the nuts. The type of nuts are the type that expand when tightened and will forever stay in the absorber once compressed. the bolts are 10 mm I think, but the nuts are special. There is a slot above the hex hole for the nuts. The tab from the stock LS1 foglight bracket rides up and down in this slot allowing alignment with the grill hole for the lights. Here is a link for another set of instructions. It's not much better though.
