Well I took my whole front end off (hood, bumpers, fenders) and have been installing it in pieces over the past couple weeks - well I'm not a very organized person and in the course of those weeks I lost the bolts that bolt into the bumper and fender alonf the botom of the wheel well, lost the bolts that go on the front of the bumper by the radiator support (most use retainers so im just gonna use some I have but my body guy boled the bumper there) and also found some things that I don' remember what they went to. The one that is perplexing me the most is this nut. It is painted my body color but i cant think for the life of me where it came from. anyone have ideas?



Also, anyone know best place to get those bolts to put my bumper back on? I'm guessing best place is a junkyard

it looks like one that holds the door hinges on... did you mess with those at all?

Looks like a door hinge bolt, then again a fenders bolt from under the hood?

i was gonna say where the fenders bolt to the "frame" like right on the side where the hood lays

hmm, i don't think i ever unbolted anything there but I might have - ill take a look.

Yeah, i agree with QBE, where the fenders bolt to the frame, under the hood. Either that or where the hood hinges bolt to the car also. I'm 99% sure it goes under the hood along the fenders somewhere.

No, its not where QBE said - i thought he wrote soemthing else, but now, those are all bolts, this is a nut.

check the backside of your impact bumper the steel one. it looks like the nut that is on the back of that there are 4 i think on each side. it's only nut i can think of right now that would have body color paint on it. I'll be under the car tomorrow and poke around a little extra, if i see anything I'll be sure an post back. it's warm to say the least down here, so no hurrying because its cold

I don't know why it would be painted body color so I'm probably wrong, but it almost looks like one of the nuts used to hold the seats down.

with those the nut and spacer is separate i believe.
and black too i believe

Thats a Strut tower nut, painted body color but no clear... aka engine bay

After taking my front end off this weekend, I have to ask - did you take the bumper rebar off? Is that a small 10mm bolt? If so, that holds the front rebar to the front end in front of the radiator.
