I am not sure about the grommets but you can just use threaded rods for the bumperettes with thick wall alum tubing for spacers. If you are looking for QuickJacks I made a few sets. I have 1 set of Stainless steel (un polished) and I think 4 sets of Steel ones. These are for the CR. Look in my gallery and you can see a rough print that I made up for them. I don't plan on making any more so if anyone is interested. They are made from 1/4" thick material and formed, not welded.

jagrolet,
Check out my gallery, I added some fotos of my bumpers. No grommets. Hope this helps but they are pretty simple. 1/2" threaded rod cut to length. Aluminum tubing used as a ferrul or spacer. Capnuts at the exposed end and a hexnut at the other end.

I have installed the new quick jacks. Bolted right on without incident. They look fantastic. A lesser profile from the bumperettes I had before. I like 'em. I added a couple pics into my gallery if you care to look. Thanks to all who contributed to my journey. As you all know or should know...Finishline's QJ's don't fit CR's bolt pattern. These were fab'd by TCrist as he mentioned in an earlier post. They are unique in that the flange is larger to accommodate a wider spread on the bolt pattern. NOW my car looks like it's ready to race...lol!
