Well, I think its safe to say RI isn't totally car friendly, lots of rust, terrible roads, and terrible drivers, back to the question though, is SS just not a good option or just not a popular one?

You could always get 1 stud and take it to a machine shop and tell them that you want a set of however many you want made to be made just like that 1 stud but using stainless steel for material. It will be an expensive option, but if you really want stainless studs there you go. I wish I had access to a lathe and a mill.

Option B, for keeping the rust off.... drive the Fiero in the summer only?
I wish, but it's my only car... on the other hand its been sitting all this winter anyway
and to craigsfiero2007, for me expensive options = not good options, im not too set on SS but I do like the idea of my manifold bolts not rusting anymore

I don't know how much you wanna spend. But, after spending some time Googling I came across these. These are the cheapest I could find, I can't remember where my old workplace used to order all of our fasteners from.

Those are beautiful, I couldn't justify $75 to buy them though, especially when I would need to buy two sets to have enough, I'd much rather spend $15 for the fiero store/saturn stud options and use that extra money elsewhere, thanks for checking into it for me though it's much appreciated!

I used to live in Maine so I know where you are coming from. I hate working on cars in Maine, I always got mouth fulls of rust and any kind of stud would snap then I would spend some time extracting a stud. You could paint the new studs with some high heat paint, that should prolong the life of the studs.

Last time I needed studs, I used long socket head set screws from the local (good) hardware store - hardened and worked fine - plus easy to install. You might check McMaster Carr or someone else for SS setscrews in an appropriate size.
