Need Torx Screws for 1982-1984 Firebird/Trans Am Front Grills
I will be installing a new set of front grills on a 1982 Trans Am, here's a picture of the grills:

Unfortunately I am missing one of the torx screws used to secure these grills, does anyone know where I can purchase or find a replacement torx screw? I don't mind having to pay for a full set of the screws.
Thanks for your help!

Did you check ebay? I know I've found lots of bolt kits on ebay. If not just take a bolt to your local hardware and size it, then buy SS if they have em or you cna try an online place like mcmaster carr. They might even have black oxide SS, i know i got some of those for a TB

Napa, or even Home Depot or Lowes might have them. If not, try Fastenal.
I like BOOT77's idea of black stainless. Fastenal has the security torx in stainless (not black). They have a pin in the center of the star to make them theft resistant.
You could always paint the heads black.

I replaced my C3 grille's hardware with SS cause the oem black had rusted, but plain SS they kinda stand out. So it's on my list to replace them again with black oxide SS.
