Default garage SPEC "engine dress-up" screws

If anyone has ever considered this:

http://www.kickflop.net/temp/gspec-dressup-ripoff.jpg (I don't want to link to THEIR page from this thread).

Don't buy it. It's ridiculous price gouging. These 18-8 stainless pieces *ARE* expensive, but they're not "$39 for 6 screws and washers" expensive.

I have 4 of these exact same kits (absolutely identical in material, number, and measure) that I am selling for $20 (picked up) and $22 shipped.

They go anywhere a M6x1.0 screw goes

For one, the top edge of the fender on each side, inside the engine bay.

For two, the turbo heatshield.

For three, the washer fluid tank (2 up top).

For four, the front headlight mounting screw near the top of the fender.

For five, the grounding screws at the sides of the engine bay.

Just about anywhere you can find that takes a 10mm socket and is not a bolt, but a fastening screw.

Just so I am clear above: the price above is for 6 washers and 6 screws (just like the garage SPEC kit).

I have no idea where they were made.

I think either you did not read my 1st post, or you are trying to screw up something I have for sale.

I am offering these kits. I am trying to sell something. My price is half of garage SPEC's.

If you think you can get 18-8 stainless steel M6x1.0 hex-drive screws (QTY 6) and 18-8 stainless steel countersunk washers for them (QTY 6) for less than $20 without having to buy them in bulk ... I suggest you knock yourself out and go buy them.
