just take your scoop off and match up a bolt that works @ your local hardware store.

lol...was wondering how you managed to hold the hood scoop on with your nuts

I'd agree with 02BlackWRX, just take the scoop off and bring it into the hardware store. People may look at you funny.....but oh well sometimes you just gotta do it.

I'd also look at getting some lock-tite washers to go with the nuts (if the thread of the bolts is long enough)

Would also suggest looking around your engine bay for the little bastages that got away....would recommend giving an attempt at finding them before driving......you might actually find them and save the trip to the hardware store.

Haha, you don't look funny . Heck, me and some friends were walking around OSH with a Greddy Evo 2 in the shopping cart looking for bolts. One of the workers there stopped and stared at us for a second, then asked us what it was for... haha

yeah, just take off the scoop and bring it to the hardward store

Just make sure your nuts are nice and tight this time. No one likes loose nuts.
