Default PLP Heatshield for 2k4

so i bought a PLP heatshield (thanks IS-Rocket)... got the directions last night (From crontab, Thanks) to do the install this morning... well after looking at the directions i had all my things ready to do this... however the bolt that holds the bracket in place for the '04s are 14mm not 12.. so now my car's stuck here until i find a ride to go buy another 14mm Bolt however it does look beautiful just hanging there

PS. this may be a repost but i just needed to vent...

Wow that's interesting you point that out. Which Gen PLP heatshield do you have? There are 3. I was planning to order one til I found out the Gen3's are backordered. I have to find a new mod for my 11 month old, 29500 mile 2004 IS.

Living in SoCal and frequently going to NorCal adds up the mileage. My IS has been on 5 Northern California trips since I first got it. The first 3 days of ownership, I had already racked just over 1000 miles for the End of Summer Meet v.2.
