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.

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.

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!

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!
