I bought a cobra emblem to replace the stock running pony on my 03 Cobra grill, but I've never seen the head pattern on the screws before. It looks like an alan type, but with a raised circle in the middle. Anyone know what this is called? What size it is? And where I can find one?

Thanks

I think they call them tamper proof torx. They should have them at your local auto parts store. I bought mine from Auto Zone for pretty cheap if I recall.

Autozone is the only place I could find one out of the mainstream stores in my area. They only had one left too.

Thats them alright. Any idea what the size is for the grill emblem bolt? I hate to pay $80 for a set of bits I'm only gonna use once. I wonder if my local mod shop has one. My cars due for an upgrade next week, maybe they can change it for me.

Autozone sells the whole set of tamper-torx for like $10...It's a T25 that you need to take that off...

Yup, same size! T25 security torx bit is what you need. Try to stay away from AutoZone because they only sell the complete Torx driver kits and all you need is the one driver. Ace hardware was the cheapest as someone already mentioned!
