The nuts for the clips that hold the trim piece on are #8-32. The speednuts for the grille are #10-24.

1/4 inch and 6 point works best.

Why wouldn't you just a take a full compliment of sockets so you would be prepared for anything? Taking only one or two seems like you're setting yourself up for failure?
