I really like your idea of allen screws/bolts. I love how an allen head looks. meaty.

the OE part comes with bolts and rubber nuts )which widens as you screw into it) but that way means you have to drill a relatively large hole in your bumper to insert these rubber nuts. I just used a small 8mm self taping screw. that way if I ever remove the skid plate, there is just 3 teeny tiny holes that are not seen by the eye. and could be filled in with black caulking, if for some reason needed to be.
