just happened to have a spare grille sitting downstairs- didnt have a torx wrench handy, but anyway...as you can see they have a integral flange/washer- might be best to stop and pick up a few from the dealer...

A couple of them are a little shorter than the others too so be careful. I can't remember for sure which ones were shorter but I remember this being warned in the directions that came with my eleanor grill I put on my '08.

ok...sorry I didnt check the other day.

T25 torx, integral 11.75 mm washer, 16mm long, 6mm major thread diameter, 3mm pitch, self tapping...on my 'newtakeoff' GT grill all 4 are the same length- measured the depth (thru the light plus depth of hole in grille) max length on the outer would be about 16.5mm, inner are 17 and 19, near as I can measure...

still looks like a special to me, still think dealer would be best bet...if you want to try tapping/using something else, the minor on the screws looks to be around 3.3mm, and theres a short shoulder thats a even 4mm

this is by far the most Ive ever written about a self tapping screw- hope it helps :)

edit- they are either a magnetic stainless(doubtful) or zinc/similar plated
