Griz,
They all came stock with the Torx head screws but some very wise mechanic or previous owner did what I did and threw the Torx screws in the trash and replaced them with phillips head screws on your car. Now the tool you need is always in the front of your toolbox and you don't have to worry about finding the right bit or dropping the stupid Torx bit down in the engine bay, never to be seen again .
