FAQ

What size screws do license plates use?
Vehicles vary, with many using metric or standard self-tapping screws. Check your existing hardware or the listing to match thread size and length.
Do the caps prevent rust?
Caps cover the screw heads to hide them and help shield them from moisture, which can reduce rust and keep the plate area looking clean.
Are anti-theft plate screws worth it?
They use special heads that require a matching tool, making plates harder to remove. They can deter casual plate theft in some areas.
