Thank you for the heads up! I had them off because I did a hood strut kit but ended up taking the kit off. Due to that paint chipping I was gonna throw on the stainless for a clean finish.In the event you don’t know, be careful with those bolts - they are known to snap…. Looks like yours may have been removed before (or an attempt to remove) because there’s a lot of paint chipping around the exterior of the bolt edges…

Well, even stainless steel isn't rust proof, just rust resistant. Just ask some Cybertruck owners. I'm seeing reports of new ones being delivered with rust already.Think this may be my only option as they don’t seem to make any stainless versions. Only phosphate.
That’s insane for what people paid and waited for those. Certainly not a Tesla fan… but I’ve heard they’re poor quality.Well, even stainless steel isn't rust proof, just rust resistant. Just ask some Cybertruck owners. I'm seeing reports of new ones being delivered with rust already.
