Front license plate hardware
Looks like I'm going to have to install the front license plate on my 2017 GLS550 (with the AMG style grille).
I have the license plate bracket, but do not know the ideal hardware to 1) install it to the grill and 2) install license plate to the bracket.
Any help with hardware sizes, etc is greatly appreciated!

Just picked up my 2017 GLS550 and it came with a front plate. I took it off and it looks like they screwed it into the mess style grill, I can take a closer look and take pictures for you if you haven't found a solution yet.

Thanks for the offer Jt0230!
Here's what I found out:
Attach front bracket to grill:
#10 X 1" Phillips Round Washer Head Tapping Screw X 4
Attach license plate to front bracket:
4.8mm W X 16mm L sheet metal screws X 4 (pref staniless steel)
Attach license plate to rear tailgate:
M6 X 12mm machine screws X 4 (pref stainless steel)
