    Anyone bought stainless steel grille insert screws that were permanently coated black? Are those M6 or M8? Links? Thanks!

    I haven't bought that particular thing, but what you are looking for is A2 or A4 grade stainless steel in black... it's a chemical treatment that leaves it that way. I'd recommend A4, as it is marine grade equivalent.

    no idea if this is the right length but they have m6 covered.
    these are most likely 303 from past experience dealing with their hardware. Will hold up just fine to road conditions and even more so since coated.

    Try this company. I had bolts powder coated for my rims and they’ve been solid for over a year so far. And they carry M6 and M8 sizes.
