You can get grade 10.9 bolts from hardware stores and they are stronger than the bolts on your car now. I've done 3 cars complete suspension rebuilds and autocrossed all three and NEVER had one problem.

and they are actually $6.09+tax each from honda

you still want that spoiler

To be honest. I'd get the Honda bolts.

Honda redesigned them to prevent future siezing.

And just to clarify Grade 8 is not as strong as 10.9, that would be Grade 5. 12.9 is equivalent to grade 8. Just sayin.
