    Go to the hardware store with a provided (too short) screw and get something similar but a little longer
    I quoted you on what was said a page back,
    I did something similar, except I thought a #4 screw and 3/4" long was closer to matching the provided hardware

    Point is, it doesn't really matter, get something that'll thread in there and hold firm... you have 4 on the tops/bottoms so the 4 on the sides is frankly overkill for the "TOYOTA" portion, so it should be good!

    Hope that helps :notsure:

    Wow. That went back together in 3 minutes. This looks real nice. Thanks @CaliRaisedLed

    Got 4 screws as described earlier from ACE for the ends of lettering and worked perfectly.

    Seems thus far this Group Buy did not fall under the same. I'm happy with my purchase.

    I went down to HomeDepot and picked up some #4 just slightly longer. I also picked up lock washers with internal teeth so it would not work itself out with vibration.

    Great find. I'll head down and grab some. I have an extra chrome piece I was going to try plastidip, but I'd rather try paint match first.

    Post up some photos, you have me curious.

    I used a couple pieces 120 grit sandpaper, acetone to clean, and a can of superwhite and a can of clear. I would advise two cans of paint. One did the job, but I probably should have put more on. 20180518_185634.jpg

    I'll echo what others have said on the screws, and the thickness of the plastic for some of the tabs to overlap and hold. But on the whole very happy with the purchase
