Spend what you want, the Hot Toppers look great for less than $10 total, just a smooth chrome cover with no exposed bolts, I think they look better than bolts, to each his own.

RaceFace this is what I looked at, which is for the '08 and newer. Strange that it's half the price for a similar set.

I have on the way an order from Alloyboltz. I'll let you guys know what I get. It's supposed to arrive on Saturday. I "thought" I ordered the complete set for the front brembo calipers AND i ordered a separate set for the rear brembo caliper. I'll take a photo and post when I get 'em.

I had PM calipers at one point. They came with chrome 12-point bolts. I saved these and used them when I mounted the Brembo calipers...maybe Performance Machine would sell you some chrome bolts?

Sorry LocTite but your link didnt work for me. It brought up a login page.
Here's the link I was originally looking at when I posted. The pic shows all 4 bolts needed to mount to the sliders (both sides) yet at the bottom of the description, it says (2) kits required for dual disks.

This kit is for one caliper and if you have dual disc brakes, you will need 2 kits.

Look at the pics above and you will see the shoulder. If you dont believe what I say ask any machinist or top grade mechanic thats worth his salt.
Simple reason is the threaded diameter of the bolt is smaller than the shoulder, and the hole is almost the diameter of the shoulder, not the threads.
And dont forget to chase the threads on chrome bolts before install, and use neverseeze.

Oh trust me Bagman1, that's why I wasn't a fan of the allen bolts I used briefly, no shoulder. That's why I'm considering down time and chroming my stockers. I should have had them chromed when I had my shoulder surgery....but NOOOOOOO...I wasnt THAT smart!! LOL!
