You have to pony up the dough on your first order from FCP. After that, it's only $14 total. Their lifetime guarantee is legit but they have to be losing their asses on things like these bolts. My bet, if everyone on xoutpost and other forums were to do this, red flags would eventually trip and either the program would be discontinued or modified at some point. Just a guess though.

I do most of my part ordering from FCP. Used the lifetime guarantee a couple times and would like to see it continued. That said, x5only is smart for using the guarantee. I just remove my plate too often at 3-5 times a year.

Here's a link to the main thread on these with Andrew's testing. I don't remember the page though sorry.
