better be careful, some of those torx screws are just for looks and actually molded plastic. Make sure you find and unscrew the real ones (they are metal) ... maybe someone can shime in with a picture and some arrows which ones are actually real torx screws as I can't remember at the moment.

the first 2 on the door handle peice, and the first 2 on the power lock button peice (or the empty plate if you dont have)
the other 12 are fake
maybe if you have the cable operated mirror, a couple of those might be real too

hmmm....you could strip the fake ones completley and make it all nice and round so that you can tell which are real and which are fake
