Default Torx screw

Does anyone know the specs for the torx screws that hold the top of the rear bumper cover to the body.

Have you tried your local dealer's Parts Department? They should be able to find a part number and specs. You could then see if you can find a match at a vendor like McMaster-Carr,

Not sure, but it could be this. The washer on yours looks separate; the one in my pic has an integrated washer.

This one looks more like it. Put that number in Amazon and many options appear.

I know OEM fasteners are expensive but I like using them. They maintain an original look where others look out of place.

Agreed! That's why Amazon can be a good deal. 20 screws (that seem to be an exact match) for $8.99.
