I had the 'grips in hand getting ready to do it but decided to not scar them up and just get the right tool. Still need to know the size.

That gave me a good chuckle. Thanks for trying anyway.

I would drive down to the store and just ask them to borrow a couple to match the size but I have already removed the rest of the interior

You could always buy a cheap set of torx bits at the store.
I have my own cheap-*** set of AllTrade bits from Kmart(?)

I know you can't wait for delivery (and these guys are slow), here's a set at Harbor Freight for $10 (plus shipping), to cover all your Torx needs...

Ok I couldn't find my Torx set but I'm positive its a 45. I checked my book but it didn't say. I know I've taken out my seat belts before and they were a 45 and I think they all are the same size
