License Plate Screws

This is a 3D printed variation on our previously machined aluminum brackets.

This bracket will come with a blank front face, but custom logos are available! Leave me a note at checkout, or get in touch via email/text/store chat about what you'd like.

This revised bracket is now available in different engineering-grade materials: carbon fiber nylon (tough and strong), and carbon fiber polyphenylene sulfide (extremely tough). All are extremely tough thermoplastics that are well suited for this application and still solve the problem that the original bracket was intended to address: preventing the screws from being driven into the hatch and scratching your paint.

All brackets come with 316 (marine grade) stainless steel fasteners to mount the bracket to your car, as well as to mount your license plate TO the bracket. Since a lot of folks do not like the look of stainless steel screw heads, if you opt for the standard ones, you will receive a set of UV-resistant snap-on caps to cover the screws. Alternatively, we also offer black oxide coated 304 stainless fasteners as an option, but bear in mind that these are nowhere near as corrosion resistant as the standard 316 stainless steel ones we offer. We DO NOT recommend these for use on cars on the east coast or in the rust belt.

Choosing your plate screws

Do you need extra security?

✅ Yes → Pick Tamper-Resistant Screws

❌ No → Pick Standard Hex Drive Screws

Do you live somewhere where rust is a problem?

✅ Yes → Pick 316 Stainless Steel Screws

❌ No → Any screws will do!

Our Materials

We often get asked what the difference is between all of the different materials that we offer.

UberTough Nylon Carbon Fiber: This is a copolymer alloyed with Nylon 6 and Nylon 12, and then reinforced with 15% carbon fiber. The resulting product is a bracket that exhibits some marginal flexibility, but is reasonably rigid and very tough. We take these a step further by bonding the outer carbon fiber shell to an even tougher and ductile core made from Nylon 910. We then put each bracket through a proprietary post-processing procedure that strengthens the bracket significantly.

FlexiTough Nylon Carbon Fiber + TPU: This unique hybrid shares the same carbon fiber shell as our UberTough brackets do, but instead of a Nylon 910 core we bond it to TPU instead. The resulting bracket is more flexible, but also tougher and more resistant to breakage.

PPS Carbon Fiber: Compared to Nylon, this material is extremely rigid. Significantly stronger to the point of being overkill for the application, PPS is also very heat resistant and has the unique characteristic of sounding like metal if you tap it on a hard surface. It tends to have a rougher looking surface finish than Nylon does, and it also doesn't laser mark very well.

What's Included

Your plate bracket will come with:

  • Stainless steel (316) screws to secure the bracket to your car
  • Stainless steel (316 or 304) screws to secure your plate to the bracket [2 sets: short, and long]
  • Black "snap on" caps to cover the screw heads if you choose 316 stainless

Customizable!

We now offer FREE custom laser engraving on all plate brackets! Let us know what you'd like on yours, and we'll try to make it happen!

(We can even laser mark the screw heads!)
