    Need help with bolt size

    So I just bought this car and haven't been able to put my plates on yet but the cops have already pulled me over twice in 3 days... so I'm tired of it lol.

    I need to know what size and thread the rear license plate bolts are and also the front ones. Or where I can find this info.

    Thanks in advance.

    same as the bolts that hold the headlight frames in, and im assuming the same as any other car's plate holders.

        You can use any type of fastner that fits in there in the mean time to be legal.

          They are cheaper at the dealer than the generic "poly pak" at the chain parts stores, and they look much nicer.

                All you needed was a coarse thread screw that fits...

                  I haven't ordered anything yet... my issue is that I live in a rural area in Missouri... so finding metric stuff is pretty tough bc there are not too many imports around.

                    it doesnt have to be metric. pull the "gold" clip off the bumper, then take it to the store and find a screw that fits.
