Underbody Panel Bolt Size

Does anyone know what size (or maybe even a part number) the small bolts are that hold on the plastics on the front of a 98+ trans am? Mine have disappeared over the years and I would like to fix it and get the panels back on properly.

Thats exactly what I was looking for. Did the clips fit pretty nicely as well?

I didn't have any of the old ones to compare it to but felt it all went together well

Thanks for the suggestion. I ordered that kit and hope it'll get my panels mounted back on.

I don't remember seeing multiple size screws on mine (might have been removed or lost over the years) but if the 10s don't work, this gives me a starting place to find replacements. Thanks!

oh I think the 8mm's hold the radiator deflector on?

id been running without my splash panels for years! I had some stuff going on under the bumper I had to resolve before I put them back in.

next up for me is fixing my TA side skirts the keep leaning away from the body and I cant get tape to help them up.
