Hey guys I was thinking would you guys want to buy upgraded bolt kits for your xB's? I own a industrial/performance retail store so tracking down all the right fasteners is not a big deal I just want to make sure its worth the time.

I just hate the black grade3 bolts that come stock so I was thinking of using grade 911 stainless taper heads with anodized finishing washers. Similar to this.

Let me know what you think! if theres enough good feedback I'll have these kits put together right away.

I've been thinking about getting the Gallery Fresh ones, but if I can get a deal with something different I'll go that route.

i'm lost. what would these be for? just a replacement for the dull black bolts?

I would totally be down! PM me if this goes through!

Im sourcing the washers right now. the bolts and screws we have in stock.

I need to go pull a bunch of fasteners off my xb so I can put a kit together and figure out a price for the kit.

What color washers do you have? And which bolts do they replace?

would be a very cool mod if the price was right. keep us posted.

Right now I only have polished aluminum but theres no reason why I couldnt get those anodized and engraved. There would be a price difference though from polished and anodized.

I could change any bolt I wanted as long as its made in a taper head bolt or screw. I can even get rid of the nasty acorn nuts in the valve cover.

What I can do also is find make a partial kit and a full on kit. As long as I can keep my pricing down I will be able to sell these at a very comparable if not better price then competitors

i want them ! HMMM MAYBE POLISHED RED AND BLACK

uhhh where doe these go?

These bolts would replace all the bolts you can see in your engine bay. They could potentially be used to change any bolt screw or nut on your car as long as you know what kind of hardware you need.

ive lost so many of those fasteners changing out my grille, installing my intake, etc. id buy these in a heartbeat.

I will take a sample kit for free on friday ! I will buy you a beer and a pizza

^^x2 But very interested in this!

Pasq,
Will you be able to do black bolts with red washers?

down

black fasteners with red washers is very do-able

Of course Im going to use my car as the mock up for the gen 2 kit so I should have pictures coming very soon.

Very nice.... I ready to see what they look like and place an order. Thanks

Pasq,
Will you be able to do black bolts with red washers?

I might also be interested in this combination! or red bolts and black washers?

I dont know if thats possible lol. I would have to get aluminum bolts Which I wouldnt risk selling them to any of you guys. I worry about my customers safety. I make steel braided brake lines for cars and I go above and beyond to make sure they're the best and safest product out there and that same business practice will cross over to these bolt kits also.

I wont sell you something I wouldnt put on my own car.

Ok understandable ! Wont make it tonight for sure next week. I will post it around also

I have some of the ones posted in the first post. 28 to be exact. Pretty much replaced almost every 10mm bolt under my hood. Just wish I could do something with the ones holding the valve cover on now.

Great way to dress up the engine bay.

I WILL TAKE RED !

HOWS MUCH !

If you have a set to replace the nasty acron nuts on the valve cover I'll take them asap! Blue washers please! Cash in hand!

Those bolts that the acorn nuts screw on just unscrew from the valve cover, and replace with a 10mm bolt. Look at my pics above, I changed mine out.

Xbbox not to be dense but the bolts that the nuts go on unscrew?

That they do. They thread into the valve cover.

Yeah, that ^^^

Take one of the 10mm nuts off from anywhere's under the hood and screw it on the bolt. Then screw the acorn nut on top of it, tighten them together, then start unscrewing. It'll come right out.

Its actually a 6mm thread 10 mm head

Yeah guys Im still price haggling with my venders but this WILL happen I just need to find the best pricing so I can get you guys the best pricing.

hey you got any special hoses for the xb2 ?

I make DOT approved steel braided brake lines

I made these for Greg Purple fittings and clear coated lines.

All my lines are DOT approved and pressure tested far beyond what your car will ever push them too. I can do them in all kinds of custom colors too.

Let me know!

ok , thats sexy . can you brink a sample of the hose friday to pizza !?

Pasquale, you know i'm interested! :icon_biggrin:

Pas question. what are those line things? i dont see anything in my engine bay that matches that look. and if yours are like that xbbox posted. could it be the blue round part and black washer? so the main color is blue with a black accent?

Sorry I forgot to post my rear air brackets too.

Those are brake lines. I would be able to do blue washers and black 911 bolts if you wonted.

The hoses are brake lines, the washer is 1 piece i believe

so brake lines = better stopping power?

YUP !

hmm. how DIY install or shop needed? stopping power is great considereing how heavy and fast my car is now

its like bleeding the brakes

I did mine myself you just need a good set of brake line wrenches and soebody to press down the brake pedal for you when you bleed the lines.

My lines get rid of that mooshy feeling that the stock lines cuase. The difference is rubber lines will expand which means you lose pressure and you will never have consistant stopping power. My lines dont expand so you have a firm brake peddle feel and more even stopping power.

hmmm nice i will have to remember that. thanks!

No problem

Any word on pricing yet for the Gen2 Bolt Kit?

how much on those brake lines? i might be doing brake pads soon?

Brake lines are 110$ for all 4 lines plus shipping.

Sorry I got totally busy the last two weeks ill have a number by this Friday.

Pas, what kind of red are we talking about on the brake lines? Like an anodized red or a true red? PS, I totally forgot how sexy your car is man! GeeDANG that thing is sweet!

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e308/pasquale123/motor_cycle_ss_lines.jpg

These are the DOT inserts and the the Different kinds of coating I offer.

The inserts are anodized and the coating is some what translucent.

THOSE RED LOOK HAWT

Too bad you'll never see them. Lol! Unless you show with a wheel or two off.

Depending on your wheel design you can just see part of them at the calipers. I can with mine.:)

Just a peek is all you need

If you have an open faced wheel you can see them pretty well more so on the rear. Greg's lines are by far my favorites lol! I think im going to make a set for my car. I love the purple and the gold inserts.

Any pics of them on the car? And how close is the gold to my RS5?

Its pretty close IMO. It has that brown tinge to it that Gold Rush does.

Some black lines with gold ends would look awesome!

Let me check to see if I have pictures of them on my car.

Bolt kit price request bump!

Seen him last night he sent them to get some color , he should have final price this week coming up i am thinking.

i would totally buy the bolt kit if i could get anodized lime green yo! :biggrin:

Bump for Bolt Kit pricing!

Sorry >< I have everything sitting in the warehouse all finished up I've just been SUPER SLAMMED due to my crew taking their vacation time in succession lol. I need to go back through my computer and figure out what my cost is again.

I really like the idea of a bolt kit, but I'm a little afraid of the installation. I would need good instructions to feel confident enough to go ahead with this project. I imagine myself leaning over the engine bay saying something like, "I wonder where the other 23 are supposed to go?":confused:

oh haiii

I would love a set of white lugs for my wheels if possible. Thanks.

I wanna know too! I'd be interested depending on the pricing.

Its been over a month...did this happen?

Nothing yet! :(

oh hai

Just an FYI to everyone, these bolt kits are easy to put together yourself. There's many companies that sell these, including but not limited to: gallery fresh, dress up bolts, and devsport.

Not trying to step on Pasquale's toes, just trying to help people on their way.

Do they make em model specific?

Do they make em model specific?
I think Gallery Fresh and Dress Up Bolts do. If they don't, get a metric ruler and go out to your car and do some measuring. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help you piece together a kit.
