The screws have pi$$3d me off!

I heard of others stripping them, and I was careful not to over tighten any - but taking the screws out of the bulkheads to attach the undertray 2 stripped out totally. Bah! What is the idea of sinking in the head slightly so you get EVEN less depth for the driver than the already shallow head ?



I don't like to mix my words, so I'll say these screws are actually crap for the purpose. No way you want to be wrenching on this car in a hurry at the track and risk the screw slipping like this. After this one stripped I was super careful and put loads of pressure on the others to make sure they didn't slip, but one did.
My new 501X is tainted

So, my next question - anyone released a proper screw kit for this car yet ?

p.s. anyone want to buy a car I can't take apart ?
