    So I finished putting my car back together the other day, and only had a couple of nuts and bolts left over. I can't for the life of me figure out where these go though, And they're pretty distinct. Anybody recognize what I left these out of??

    Took the engine out, replaced water pump, rear crank cover gasket, oil pan gasket, elbows again, VC gaskets. Also replaced supercharger coupler, rack and pinion, both axles, LCA's, stabilizer bar bushings and end mounts. Also took off all the splash shields and front bumper cover for cleaning/ access. I wasn't short bolts for the splash covers but very well could have put the wrong ones in. I labeled and took pics but there were a lot.

    they look like fender bolts, or the 3 bolts form a cross support. 1 up top 2 on the rad support.

    My flex plate cover bolts got put back in place after I took it off, same with my cross support bolts. I'm thinking they came from my fender or bumper somewhere I just can't find where..
    I'll look again tomorrow double check all the spots mentioned. mystery bolts...

    they are for the lower plastic airdam/splash shield to lower radiator core support.

    the shoulder on the washer is the giveaway of a plastic shield bolt (keep you from overtightening and spliting the plastic)
