is there anywhere to get these things besides from the dealer? i repainted my spoiler and i lost a few of the nuts when i took it off, i dont really wanna drive all the way to the local dealer, and a junkyard would be better, but i dont remember seeing any spoilers last time at the yard, so are there any other nuts like it anywhere else on the car?

call patrick @ bma. Hell get them for you. And yes there is other nuts like that on the car but they hold down other things. lol -
which are the other nuts like those, because i have a yard that is only 10 minutes from me as opposed to 45 for the dealer, so i can just gank em off the yard car1991 318is --- currently not road worthy

If you have one, just go to lowes or home depot and match the thread with the bolts they have there and then go to the appropriate bin. Takes like 5 minutes and with be 50x cheaper than OEM + shipping.

That's why I said "+shipping." And Lowe's has all kinds of metric stuff, at least the one by me does. I was even able to find a replacement Nylok nut for one of the struts on the iS we're working on.Originally posted by nando View Post

If the junkyard is your thing , the plastic nuts that hold down the center consoles to to the tunnel are that same as the plastic spoiler nuts .
Or you can quit being a drama queen and just space out the remaining nuts you have left , all you need is three really .Comment
