I didn't even take the bolts out. I just checked the bottom and the heads seem OK.

http://www.amayama.com/ is what I use. They are awesome for getting new OEM parts. You will need the part numbers from a site like Toyodiy.com.

Yeah the OEM version is nice. The replica could not stand the Canadian winters, and I could see the black paint was starting to chip away. This one has black ABS for the inserts.
