Idk their like $40 bux for the pair. You can search your local honda dealer in they have a parts catalog.. off their website.
And the stud balls are like $6 bux..
yeah i already got dampers but $6 sounds good to me i'll go there asap

I just wanted to ask how big of stud ball is needed. 10mm? I found some on ebay 10mm ball with 8x1.25 thread pitch.

Dude how in the world did u get the m8x1.25 nut to fit inside the i4 hole??

Save the manuals
^If it's not fitting just dremel the edges of the hole to make it bigger. But I'd scrap the mounting bracket on the hood and do it this way.

The nuts he's using has a thread pitch 1.25 and I got the pivot balls off eBay for 4 for $13 dollars and bought nuts from home Depot for .64 ea.
