McMaster Carr alternative to OEM lip spoiler fasteners

[Tangoman]

I'm not sure if anyone cares, but I figured I would post this just in case.

I didn't want to wait for 13 OEM Honda clip-nuts and flange head shoulder bolts to show up for my OEM lip spoiler, so I ordered these on McMaster Carr (they get stuff to my house next day).

They didn't have flange head shoulder bolts so I added in some washers.

93852A103 (3/8" stainless flat washer) - 1 package
90542A253 (steel easy align clip-on nut, zinc plated, 5/16-18 thread) - I just ordered 1 pack of 10, I had 3 of the original fastener sets.
91259A615 (alloy steel shoulder screw, 3/8" diameter by 1/4" long, 5/16-18 thread) - 10 of these

Anyway, all said and done it was cheaper too, only $31.70 + shipping, ended up being $42 dollars.
Normally it would be over $70+shipping for 13 OEM fastener sets and you would have to wait for 1 week dealer ship times unless your dealer had them in stock.

This is as close to a standard equivalent to the OEM fasteners as I could easily find. 3/8" shoulder vs. 9mm OEM shoulder diameter, 1/4" shoulder length vs. 6mm OEM shoulder length, etc.

They worked well.

Thanks for posting, and I need to replace mine as someone used steel ones to install my DF lip and they have all rusted but I just recommend aluminum instead of steel. I also think it might be better to stay metric, and keep everything on the car metric. This is a beautiful website I recently found, if you need hardware, this is the place from Aluminum to Titanium:

Steel is fine, if anyone is worried they can just anti-seize the threads. Should come right out 5 years later, especially considering the general lack of water NSX owners expose their cars to.

As for probolt-usa.com, looks cool and very expensive. No shoulder bolt either. Bummer.

That's very clean looking. Nice post.

I wish I could get my car to a point where all that was left was to dress up the fasteners

Thanks! It's good to know. I would like to pick these up as backup.
