Default License Plate Screws
Does anyone know what size our license plate screws are? Mine are getting rusty so i'm trying to purchase replacements. Also if anyone has a suggestion on where to purchase them that would be great. Thank you

I'd say just go to the dealership. Mine got stripped out, and they didn't mind replacing mine for free when I needed to install a new plate.

M6x1.0, approximately 15-25mm length depending on what spacers/washers you're using.

This is all the description said "(4) - #12 x 3/4" BLACK STAINLESS STEEL SCREWS" it's fine if it doesn't fit, worse case I'll just use the ones on the car now. I just wanted them black.

Those screws will not fit. They're #12 imperial screws, not metric M6.

Ah, thanks for letting me know. I'll just use the same screws the car came with then.

Just take your rusted screws to HomeDepot and get the new ones (stainless steel).

There are some LP screw kits on Amazon that come with plastic screw caps.
Nice clean look.
