I haven't looked at the screw thread but I mounted my pewter Georgia Tech Alumni surround using Allen-head screws. Since the lower screw holes are covered by the plate surround, I screw those in first then the plate surround. It has a clean and yet 'engineered' look with the Allen-heads! I'll try to post a picture later.

Couldn't wait for my friends and Saturday... Starting my Dinan TB install...

Oh and apparently you guys are all doing something wrong... Everyone told me that the F-connector WILL break... Well, it didn't...

Did you put it back on yet?

Yep, I have allen head screws as well

I like this idea as it might make it more difficult to swipe the license plate frame.

And found this size in the other provided link (thanks!): 5X12mm screws with a .8 pitch.

I had a new one already because everyone said it would break, so I put the new one on... Along with new upper and lower intake boots. They were actually still really soft and in good shape too though. My stuff had all been done before...

Anyway, after a run to the parts store (didn't have any carb cleaner!) and a 2 hour break to help my wife get the girls through lunch, I'm DONE...

Only took about 2 hours of actual work, and that included removal/installation of the strut bar, the cabin air filter assembly, and about a million texts to/from Devlin in the process... Test drive to come later tonight maybe.

Either way, she got washed today too, so she at least looks good in the garage.

That just means the previous owner already broke it and replaced it.

Mine didn't break either and I'm pretty sure it's never been replaced.

And I was pretty mean to it too!

You lead a charmed life! #luckydog
