I had my factory beauty rings blacked out on my 2014, but I need a solution for the bolts - they're all rusted from the salt air. Suggestions for how to replace?

If you go the stainless steel route, use anti-seize and be careful not to get things galled up as that would suck drilling them out. And definitely don't torque to specs. I personally don't live by salt water but winters do have salt on the roads. So far, rusting is minimal for me but I do have extra OEM bolts.

You don't order, you go to your nearest nut and bolt supplier and get socked head cap crews and washers in SST.
Use a copper based anti seize.

Thanks. I'm just a kook with a cool truck - How would I find such a place in West Los Angeles or the San Fernando Valley?

I'm answering only because you are a Cook and I like to eat...
Even so I'm presently working in New Zealand and don't have access to my local nuts and bolt store 'Eugene Fasteners' I was able to search for hardware stores in west Los Angeles and got a bunch of them; specialty fasteners stores not as many, but plenty.

Good Luck!
