spoiler bolts

I just got a spoiler out of a local junkyard for my firebird, but when I was taking it off, some of the bolts twisted out of the spoiler. any ideas as to where I can get some of these, or a way to replace them?

If you still have the bolts/studs that twisted out, you can probably plastic weld, or use a 2 part plastic epoxy to put them back in...thats what i had to do for the headlamp brace

three out of the four twisted out, but they are about wore out anyways, so i think that ill just get some bolts and try to epoxy or maybe even fiberglass them in.

put them in there with some vice grips and ut the spoiler on, as you tighten the nut, you will tighten the stud also, simple...
