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..

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??

^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.

lol... I wasn't ignoring you! I've been outside playin!

Here's what I came up with after your suggestion...
