License frame security screws
Hi
Any suggestions on where I can buy some? Preferably the screws with those unusual patterns needing a special screw driver? And the size needed for our license plates?
Thanks.

The Porsche license plates are attached to the bumper cap with plain sheet metal screws. I doubt you will find a a sheet metal screw with a security head. If your really worried about a theft of your plate then drill out the holes in the bumper cap and install a regular bolt with a self locking nut on the back side of the bumper cap. Any thief will turn the bolt, but it will just spin unless he has a wrench on the nut on the back side, (Very difficult to gain access.) and in fact I would guess that you could not install the plate bolts without removing the bumper cap.

I'd rather they steal my plates, then cause damage trying to remove security/tamper proof screws.

I do not care about the plate as much as I do about the frame. It has been on my last 6 cars.
1) Go to www.mcmaster.com
2) Enter "Tamper-Resistant Torx Rounded Head Screws for Sheet Metal" in the search bar
3) #10 x 3/4" combined with stainless countersunk washer also available from Mcmaster-Carr.
PS - make sure that you have the correct driver or driver bit.
