Keep in mind the N54 seal is the same, so the kits that come with steel bolts are probably for N54s.
Man I wish that were true. The one guard I found which includes aluminum bolts was listed as N54/55 and didn’t mention N52 so I skipped that one, plus it was $150. I should have know better than to trust ECS tuning to do their homework. The reason I picked theirs is because it had the most comprehensive instructions and I figured since they put so much work into making good directions I would give them my business.

And looking at their guard it’s going to be hard to make it work with any screws that aren’t socket head.
