Default Couldn't find a screw fitting..

I bought a Cusco cooling plate which can be directly bolt on. But when i was working, I found the oem screw is not long enough to screw them together. I went to Home Depot but couldn't find any. I went to Honda also but they just told me they sell oem stuff only, even just a longer size oem screw they don't have it! Any one also has the cooling plate can tell me where to get the longer screw???

by "cooling plate"? Do you mean heatshield?
"Screw 'them' together" Them??
by "Screw" Do you mean 'bolt'?

Do you have the ability to take a picture?
Any decent hardware store should have a wide variety of bolts which would do the trick. I think you need to figure out what you're looking for.

After taking off the front oem bolts...did you remove the metal piece underneath? That piece has to be removed when installing any type of radiator cooling plate

I think the "radiator cooling plate" and the "Heat shield" are the same thing--

The screw i mean when you open the hood you'll see 5 screws in a horizontal line right above the bumper. Screw them off and take off the metal piece. I think the cooling plate is gonna be bolted between the metal piece and bumper. The only problem is, after inserting the plate, the screw becomes too short...
That's what my problem is, cuz i don't think the metal piece needs to be removed.
by the way, i don't speak Eng well, pardon me

I know what you are talking about now, I don't have the Cusco one I have the AUT radiator cooling plate, and I removed the metal plate and put the rubber seal back on under the 'cooling plate' while leaving the original plate off the car. There are some pictures of the install in a thread in the Sponsor Group Buys forum. (I'll post a link at the bottom)

I can't tell from the Cusco website how their plate is supposed to fit, but maybe it will fit with that plate left off the car, I know it can be hard to close the hood if you put that plate back on.
You might be able to get those 5 machine screws in that size in a slightly longer length by taking 1 in to a good hardware store and asking someone, they may have to order them but I'm sure they are available.
Your English is pretty darn good when you take time to explain yourself clearly.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Mike

Since your plate is not also an intake you do not want to remove all the plasic parts in front of the radiator as shown in this thread, but it does show the plate in place without the original metal piece that is there to hold the rubber in place that the 5 machine screws hold down.

You need to remove the metal piece in order to fit the plate...you cannot have both the metal piece and the cooling plate on at the same time.

Ya finally I found out...
To move the metal piece is needed. I just separated the rubber and the metal piece, then put the rubber onto the plate. It's quite fit after this step.
this is after working pic:
