i don't know the size, but have you tried going to dealership? specially if you go to the one where you got your car, you can probably just ask for one

make sure you get stainless steel or nylon (they won't rust).

you can also take the one remaining screw out at autozone or some other major auto parts store. They will have a variety of screw sets to choose from. Just match your current one up for length.

I had to do a similar thing when I installed my front plate... the bracket kit didn't have screws in it to actually screw the plate to the bracket once the bracket is installed on the bumper. I took the plate bracket to Home Depot but couldn't find the right screw.... then I went over to Lowe's and found them there at the right length too.
