Hmm didn't think about local fastener places. I did e-mail the place you mentioned, so thank you for that. I'm kind of skeptical though, the local chain of fastener stores wanted an outrageous amount for titanium screws (for SR20 coilpack), and I don't think they carry anything gold plated at all.
For what it's worth, here is the information I've collected (this is for GOLD M7 bolts)
Black Forrest Industries (BFI) - $1.29 a bolt.
Quality seems to be 'meh', with reports of bolts snapping, and reputable people bashing them.
WheelFlip - $1.71 a bolt.
Ordered a sample, hasn't arrived yet. Haven't heard anything good or bad. BUT they have been around awhile and I'm sure LOTS of people in Cali are rolling around with their hardware with no problems.
Dominant Engineering - $3 a bolt.
Single individual, master fabricator. Have a look at his work, you'll see how high his standards are.
BFI is out of the question for me. I need 140 bolts so WheelFlip is about $240, and Dominant Engineering is $420. For my price range, I don't think I can do $420...
May report back when the WheelFlip samples I ordered come in.
