Chrome Caps for Model 3 License Plate

[borka105]

Anyone know where you can purchase chrome screw caps for the model 3 license plate? I’ve seen a few links on amazon, but it doesn’t seem like any of these match/fit the model 3 drill holes/ screw types. I find the black/ standard screw on its pretty ugly and I’d like the chrome caps to complement the chrome style of the license plate itself.

Thanks!

I've had these on my S for two years.

I saw those, but there is a review that says they are too big for Model 3. I agree that these have the exact look I am wanting..

You should be able to reuse the existing screws with those caps.

The official screws are M5-0.8x6. (BOLT,PN,PZ,M5-0.8x6,[88],G1009, Rear License Plate Screw, 1453796-00-A) (I'm guessing that's pan head and Z point, but neither of those are really critical.)

M6 (indicated in the linked kit) are a little large, especially if you got the metal receiving nuts, not the plastic. Get those caps and some dimestore M5-0.8x6 if you want.

Or buy what looks like the same caps in bulk (McMaster-Carr). Or similar withotu the screws that don't fit for less: https://www.amazon.com/Custom-Accessories-93381-License-Fastener/dp/B000BQO22U

Or just get some shiny stainless M5-0.8x6 (McMaster-Carr https://www.boltdepot.com/Product-Details.aspx?product=11877; M5x0.80 Metric Coarse, 6mm Length Under Head 68019744 - MSC) and skip the covers.
