    Yup, Mark, that's the screw. Oddly, top one will catch but bottom one wouldn't when I added the mud flaps....suspect hand-made car explains that. Just curious if the JDMs with flaps use the same 25mm bolts or longer
    Anybody across the pond(s) know?

    Thanks Tom, I'll try Lowe's...we're going that way today. My HomeDepot seems to have zip for car screws/bolts etc...

    Sue, don't be critical about the thread pitch, it's not a machine thread.

    Just find sheet metal screw that is slightly larger in dia. and as long as you need. If you want it black, pick up a rattle can of flat black and be done with it.

    Sounds like an easy idea. The OEM is 6mm, so I'll look for a 7 or 8?
