Overtighten Pro5.0 Bolts ?

The four bolts that hold the Pro5.0 to the car were said to be wrenched on snug and NOT to be overtightned, I tightned them pretty hard, what would overtighting be considered and what would it do ? How to Tell ? well i Hope i didnt

If you overtightened the bolts you would probably strip out the threads. You would know because if you tried to torque the bolts, they would keep spinning. But if you put a wrench or socket on them and they don't budge (when you're trying to tighten) they are good.
