Just installed Stillen Gen3s and....after the reinstallation of everything I found 2 "extra" bolts and have no idea where they came from FML! I was pretty organized with the bolts after I took them off too...but not organized enough.

I had a big piece of cardboard on the floor, once i took off a group of bolts I placed them on the cardboard drew a square around them and made notes of where they came from, somehow 2 "extra" bolts appeared...too many friends helping= too many distractions and breaks..

So far I don't hear anything extra vibration or rattling, I'm sure its safe right?
How many of you would take remove everything and try to find where it goes?
How many of you would just f* it and leave it?

 

Me personally I'd double check everything just to make sure. Nothing worse than driving down the highway at 80mph and having something come loose or fly off potentially causing damage to your car or someone else's.

Just my thoughts....

 

Dude... take it apart and re do it...

 

I'm looking back at all the diy's and trying to figure out where...not the bumper so where else...

 

Could it be those bolts that's covered by the rubber on both sides of the radiator?

 

I had the same thing happen to me

 

this is not ikea...
retrace your install

 

blnewt -that silver bracket thing underneath the weather seal? I got the bolts in there already

Blksonic -sucks that it happened to you too but at least im not the only one lol

micafd3s -lol yes indeed no ikea

thinking back I'm pretty damn sure I got all the bumper bolts back in, engine cover bolts are back in...WHERE CAN IT BE?!

 

The only way you are gonna find out is to take it apart and re install it.

 

Why don't you post a pic of the bolts? Someone may recognize them and be able to help you out

 

Thanks to everyone who responded, I finally REALIZED where the extra bolts came from! The 2 stupid bolts that came from the OEM inlet cup.....lol fml

 

I just installed these yesterday and meant to find this post and reply. I totally forgot! Sorry!

 

Missing two bolts would scare the heartbeat out of me, glad you found it because in no way would I drive it with two missing bolts lol

 

I blame Sway for all your hardships! haha

 

Haha yeah, this one was totally my bad guys, sorry!

I actually had 4 bolts left over, 2 from the inlet tubes and 2 from the air box brackets if took out. (Stillen instructions don't say anything about it but I like to clean up the engine bay.... Plus weight reduction yo! Save 100th of a lb!!!!)
