I think car license plate screws can be bought in many places, it mainly depends on whether you prioritize convenience or saving money. I just replaced mine a few days ago by ordering from the automotive section on JD.com or Tmall—just search for 'license plate mounting screws' and you'll get a bunch of options, with prices ranging from a dozen to several dozen RMB. It's best to choose specialized anti-theft screws to prevent license plate theft. Online shopping delivers fast, usually arriving the next day, but you need to pay attention to size compatibility. My friend bought the wrong model and couldn't install them, wasting all the effort. Also, online platforms often have discounts for reaching a certain purchase amount, so you can add items like headlight cleaner to save on shipping. If there's an auto parts market nearby or a shop like Tuhu Car Maintenance, you can also ask directly—the staff will recommend the right specifications, and you can get the parts on the spot without waiting. Just remember not to go for cheap non-branded options, as loose screws can affect driving safety.
