Stainless License Plate Screws

tintivilus · 10-08-2007, 10:56 AM

For a totally minor/anal aesthetic (functional if plates get stolen in your area) I replaced my "normal" Phillips license plate screws with stainless hex button screws.

It took me forever to find the appropriate size, so for the benefit of anybody else thinking along these lines I used Part 6631 from www.boltdepot.com "Metric socket button head screws, A2 S/S, 5mmx0.8x8mm"

Here are my crappy camphone (sorry) before and after pics:
