I think I have four of the 1mm spacers left over from mine, I used the 2mm spacers. I can throw them in an envelope and mail them to you

it should come with spacers, btw.

Leonard1818 · 03-04-2008, 01:34 PM

Can't you get it from any automotive store? Also, maybe home depot or something.

i guess i know what you are talkin about, is it the washer? or the round metal thing that goes before the screw?

bilzfan · 03-21-2008, 08:28 AM

I think what you're talking about is actually called a "snap-nut". I've used these many times at work.

***blue rocket*** · 03-21-2008, 09:12 AM

why not just go to home depot and use small rubber / plastic washers?

the gaps on my new TLS are so bad that im having them completely redo the lip install, i dont understand how a dealership doesnt know how to installa body kit. i installed my HFP kit on my Si and it was PERFECT, wtf.
