Mine looks OK to me, of course Silver and Black go well together.

I agree Space with the black bolts looking 'crappy' against the white....They should have color keyed them however on lots of other cars I've seen the same thing occur.

Hi `James -Cain45 &amp; Members,
I thought that you would feel the same. Another cost saving
measure by GM [X(]
I'm researching, how I am going to correct this flaw.
When I do, I will take pic's/cost, &amp; post them.
I'm hoping that I can get some idea's from the member's.
Thanks for posting....It's appreciated.....
Peace....`Space

Well like I said before this is done on lots of other vehicles too. I believe the cost would be too great to paint all the bolts different colors.

Space
Did you get a bottle of touch up paint when you got the car.
If so use that to paint the bolt heads.
I got a free bottle from GM a couple of months later after I got my car.

[align=center]Thanks `Michael,[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]No, I didn't get a bottle of paint from GM : (, but I got my LT3 as a Certified[/align][align=center]used one. I just figured `if I painted the black ones, that the road stones[/align][align=center]would just chip the paint &amp; make it look like Zhit : ( or freckled : )[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]I've going to the hardware store, later this week &amp; look for white plastic screw's[/align][align=center]to see `if they will work : ) I will also test stainless steel screws : )[/align][align=center]Thanks 2 all members, &amp; Michael,4 taking the time to post, I appreciate : [/align]
