Basically replacing what's currently there with these (and those type washers with the rubber backing):
That will work fine. Just polish them before use.

Coincidentally, I have a handful of polished titanium bolts, nuts and washers coming my way this week from DressUpBolts.com. Excellent resource, and a beautifully designed bolt.

I've browsed that site for ideas but can't justify 25 bucks for 5 bolts/washers. That's just me. But dayum those do look good

I rarely post but I work with vet clinics and shelters everyday. I will say shelter is the best way because the dog will most likely be put down in there. Breeders are good but you HAVE to find a reputable one that bred the dogs correctly with true pure breds. Just whatever you do, never ever ever buy a dog from a pet shop. Like the ones in malls and shopping centers. If its a store (except pet smart) don't do it. They get their dogs from puppy mills. It's the most sad thing ever. Most people think they're saving them by buying them but in reality they are making it much worse. Just go google puppy mills and where pet shop dogs come from. Very sad.

Basically, try your hardest to rescue a dog. If not, go to a breeder. But just please don't go into a pet shop.

You should never 'buy' a dog. You should adopt from a shelter. And if you get it from a breeder, it's not a like a exchange of money and merchandise. Your paying for the hard work it took to breed them correctly, with the right dogs, In a good environment.

However, I have run into a few crazies and arrogant jerks over the years, too. There is no blueprint on the right thing to do or the people you're dealing with. Like I said, generally they're very caring, decent people.

Good luck, and please try harder with the rescue approach.

Either way, as long as you take responsible care of your pet, it's all good.
my thing is there should be a better approach to finding a good owner.. even if they want to go as far as a background check (which i actually think some of them do), i know my personal experience isnt everybodys reality but im just over trying to rescue, sadly the dog is the bigger victim in that for people like me... even a simple convo can tell the type of character of the owner... sales people have been doing that for years to find a suitable item for customers, i think the smarter guys who run these things they can come up with a better way of finding good owners... this wouldnt have been my 1st dog... like kids dogs need to be trained, i personally did my research and the dog i really want is an akita or husky, but i know at this point in time or the kind of person i am and my fiance that an akita isnt in my best interest.


hear is another reason why i was left with a sour taste in my mouth for shelters. Ive searched and driven to numerous locations to look at dogs, find the random petsmarts that they show up to and wait hours for a specific dog in the DC/MD/VA and i found the only one dog that made my eye gloomy and they are going to say no u cant get *insert stupid dogs name* but you can take this beagle..... motherfcuker do i look like i travelled down this bish for a fcukin beagle...

shelter is a very good way to go... isnt always the best way... again if you have a single family home or bigger then go with saving them from the shelter, if you dont own such and you want a specific dog, look for a breeder

There is an amazing, intangible quality to polished titanium that gives me that "want it" reaction. Some people are like that with gold, I suppose. Not that they're even remotely the same thing, it's just an example.

But when you work with titanium parts you might know what I'm saying.

Or not. Everyone is different.

I hear you, man

I think my main aversion is that I've got it in the back of my mind that I WILL be painting over some/most of them, so the disconnect is with that. Why buy the expensive bling if I'm gonna paint over it?

i agree fully and understand what you're saying but you realized that whole "statement" youve constructed you flipped flopped on almost everything?... "its this if", or maybe not", "its like this, but they are not the same" "get what im saying?, maybe not" i know you are mr english class n all... but personally i think that wasnt your best work ......




Look what im about to start

You may or may not have a point, hustler. Meaning, there's a strong 50:50 chance that you know what you're talking about.

Or not. It's not really for me to say one way or the other.

well this makes perfect sense, your other on didnt.. i see you're trying to do the same thing here but it isnt.. if you are 50:50 on something ur not sure about or have no real solid experience with then cool... but damn you coulda just give your opinion on what you believe based on your experience in the last statement withough constantly trying to include what you "think" another person would like....

i say all that to say: Just say you really like titanium **** and you think its *insert all sorts of great* (and please, please please include a huge 8+ SAT word in there).. thats all lol

Thats why there is not much aftermarket support for Maximas.

This! I ordered some titanium bolts and put them in the Maxima. All I have to say is that its so amazing the way they even feel. constantly looking in your hand to make sure you are still holding the bolt because they are SUPER light, its like holding a feather, but so strong too. They never rust or corrode and crap so its all worth it to me.
