    I'd have to go look at my car (69). But I feel like it is rivets.

    PET shows both...

    The only thing that is 100% correct are rivets. (65-69 and 70-73)

    BTW: SWB guys rejoice as Auto Foreign Services are making these. Very very nice.

    Yep, rivets on bumper end caps, screws on deco end caps. Decos have to come off to adjust torsion bars, hence the screws.
