Rear diffuser bolts and clips

[Billan]

During the 3rd cat delete and valve controller installation it was discovered that the clips and bolts that hold on my diffuser are already pretty rusty (1.3k miles). I want to replace all of the clips and add stainless bolts and washers. Does anyone know where I can source the clips from in a higher quality metal? I can likely find the bolts at a hardware store but buying them direct from someone who's already done the research is preferable.

Thanks!

I also found some, albeit not that many, rusting bolts when I removed my under trays, so I undertook to replace ALL bolts (and only a couple clips) with Stainless Steel ones. I did this not only because of rust prevention, but also because I didn't care for the looks of OEM Frankenstein bolts. Another seemingly minor resulting benefit, is that these stainless steel bolts each weigh 2,3 or even 4 grams less that the OEM equivalent bolts. When you add the stainless steel bolts' collective weight reduction, considering the million or so bolts used on the underbelly of the Emira, it's actually is not that insignificant after all.
I ordered my bolts/clips on Amazon as per the pictures shown below. Some were M6x20s, but you need to order according to the numbers, sizes and lengths of the ones you're planning to change. I found all the sizes needed to exchange all the under body bolts on my car from this same vendor. Hope this is helpful.
