1) go to dealer, buy screw ... $1 or less
2) go to hardware store, buy screw ... 20 cents or less, but you'll have to take an original to match it, which raises the possibility of losing another
3) magnetic pick up tool in the carter cover (plastic thing under the engine), also check in the bumper
Good luck.

lol
funny how we start talking about shoes on this board
they are kenneth cole reactions, made in italy
I think the screw fell out of the bottom area of my engine bay.
anyway I was able to install it this morning no problems. Hardest part was prolly getting the grill inside the chrome assembly frame... Takes ALOT of finesse, as scorchie said on his installation guide.
Anyway less boring stuff aside, heres what the final result looks like...
Heres what my car looked like before...
