Plate hardware - nuts & bolts

What is everyone using for their license plate hardware? Are there any places selling anodized stuff, or anything other that the usual screws?

I had one fall off and I just thought it would be a nice place to throw on a nice touch.

Well, those are countersunk and not flat-backed, so they might protrude a bit... I'd look fonr screws or bolts that have a flat rear profile instead of countersunk, personally. The coating can only help, rust-wise.

I use stainless steel machine screws that I picked up at the local hardware store. Take off one of your plate screws when you go and match it up.
