What size nuts for front bumper cover?

What size/thread are the nuts for the front bumper cover to fender mount point?


The pieces I'm referring to are where the bolts are part of the front cover, and they slide through the fenders and are secured there.

I remember them being somewhere around 10mm .. i think. But the thread is so coarse, unless you take them off ones at a boneyard, I doubt they will be in any type of autostore.

11mm speed nuts. Go find a deep 11mm socket wrench to get them off.

I ended up finding them at a hardware store...


6mm x 1.0


I guess I should have made it more clear I was looking for the size/thread not the sizing of the outer part to remove it...
