I have a set of extra Amuse Lip bolts. I should get my new lip in this week. Once I receive the lip, and verify that they sent me the bolts, I can mail you my extra set.

Lowes sell all kind of metric sizes and washers - should cost you no more than a couple of bucks for what you need

FYI The stock bolts are M6 x ?? x 1.00. Lowes has them in stainless steel in sizes from 16 to 50 (replace the ?? with this number). I just replaced the hardware on my Coastal Metals protector. They were just too long and I hated to take it off for any reason.

wow thanks guy!! I really appreciate the help

Otherwise the lip would have came early next week and I'd be scrathcing my head wondering what to do.

Ok heres what I did so far.....

After some searching, (before any of you guys offered your hardware thanks though!!) I ordered hardware from an ebay s2000 vendor. Jasper @ body kit 4 u based in Cali. I looked at his auction and saw these hardware for the same exact lip.

Please click this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW

Its the last picture on the bottom and shows alot of diff bolts etc that you guys have been talking about! So he said I could order these which I did. so if you guys need hardware hit him up.

Then I checked to see what I had in my lil tool box. I did have allen wrenches?? look like Hex locks or something. They were SAE size though 5/16 etc etc.

I need metric right? So I went down to Lowes and bought a pair of generic metric all wrenches. The allens were a lil more pricey and didn't include and extra size like the generic ones did.

so what size do I need? The bigger sizes in my kit are 5, 5.5, 6, 8 and 10. Are these the sizes I need?

thanks again!

It's been a while since I put an allen wrench to these bolts but I think they are either 6mm or 8mm of which you seem to have both.

man double sideded tape is more $$ than I thought. I think I am ready for the lip now.

Went down to home depot and bought 2 packaes of 3m double sided tape the super strong one? or I think super duty. It has a red film on top. I hope I have enough. Each package is about 1.66 yards or 1x60 inches so I got 2 just in case. The large package had one that was 12.5 yards and was almost $17.00 but I thought that was overkill.

What side did you guys use to put on the body and then to the lip? The red side holds the lip? Only a few more days till she comes!
