you can take one you had on your old bumper and go to home depot and find some that look similar and get the nuts to go with them. they are basically carriage bolts.

Get a chrome bumper through JBM They are $55. I got a chrome grille through them and they sent it out in no time!

As for the bolts,like Mike said,just go to Home Depot and find some stainless nuts and bolts that are long enough.

naw just take off the timing belt and the cam gear. it was kinda a pain to get the seal but i got it, cleand out the hole and popped the new one in. only took bout 20 min to do. just remember to check the cam/crank alignment before you go firing it up. mine was off a lil bit from crankin on it with the wrench.
