License Plate Screws
I'm looking to get rid of the dealers plastic license plate surround for the rear of my E320 and replace it with something simple such as the Mercedes slimline frame in Polished Aluminum.
I don't need any words or writing on the frame because the symbol on the trunk says it all![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
While keeping the back clean, I'd like to put better screws in the back to hold it down and keep with the clean lines....the best I can come up with is the following:

Anyone else got any other suggestions.....
besides the ones at home depot for 35 cents? :p
Thanks

Great looking secure tags with weather seals and sealed screws in the back of Car & Driver each month. Go to book store and look at ads, then go home and log on and buy....
Happy shopping.
BTW - I feel like I get better service due to my dealer tag....lets them know I am "one of them" and didnt buy elsewhere. Lots of folks I know get asked where they bought when making an appointment for service...shouldnt matter I know, but seems like it does.

Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.... The dealer tag is nice because it lets people know you bought it from the dealer...
When the car comes in for servicing the records show where it was serviced anyway....
Unfortunately the MB dealer where I bought my car is 500 miles from my house....so I can't go there for service

Great looks !
The Button Head allens can be found at any decent hardware store..NOT Home Depot!...Get The Stainless ones..they wont rust
