I have a box of silver zinc-plated torx screws that I bought back when I had my taillights flush-mounted. PM me your address and I'll drop them in the mail to you au gratis...

That's a nice gesture. In the future you should be able to find anything you can imagine in fasteners, metric or SAE, from MCMASTER-CARR.

got my stainless screws at Lowe's in the blue boxes. very cheap, and I like the less blingy appearance of stainless over chrome on the less showy parts of the car.
