It really is and after starting to buy the stock hardware in bulk I realized it's just cheap Zinc coated mind steel and will be oxidizing, then rusting again in a few years. Replacing it with stainless is ok for some things but stainless is weaker than mild steel so don't use it on any load bearing parts. Titanium onnthe other hand won't rust and is lighter and twice as strong as the original hardware... and basically close in price to the Mazda junk.

I love it. Works great on ashy interior bits also. I had a kick panel that was in good but not new condition and it brought it back to black and it's been weeks since I wiped it down and it's still nice and black.
I plan to wipe down all the interior plastics with this. Especially the textured ones like bins and door cards etc.

FYI,
give or take a dollar or two:
titanium flange bolts cost about $10 each.
titanium flange nuts are also about $10 each.
titanium washers are also about $1 each.
6and this is for the common little m6x1.0 stuff - the bigger stuff gets crazy expensive.
i'm not trying to continue the discussion about how much money zoomzoom is dropping on this car, but the cost to convert every nut and bolt in the engine bay alone would be at least a few hundred dollars simply for dress-up (and some hardly measurable weight savings). the cost to do the entire car would be outrageous, like a couple thousand (guess)
stainless stuff is literally 1/10th the cost. just use that.

I've heard about fitment issues on the SBG footrest, did it pop right in for you?
Also heard of some people claiming leaking on the Greddy diff cover. Maybe they didn't seal it well, but some recommend getting it trued by a machine shop. Any plans there?
Want both those things, so interested in your experience with them.
Turbojeff's stuff is always legit. Love his battery tray, and have the PFC mount. But, no PFC to go in it yet lol.
Thanks!

A friend of mine gets these to seal up using the Mercedes AMG special RTV. He says it's not available to the public but he does a lot of work for Mercedes and has a source.
I haven't tried to find it myself anywhere but can't imagine it's all that hard to get your hands on. Prob not across the counter at the dealer but maybe online. He just calls it secret sauce. I will have to see if there is a stock number on the tube. Here is the photo he sent me. I'm picking it up from him this week.
