Just reading the desciption, where it clearly states they are nothing more than pan-head phillips head screws. You could probably pick up a box of 100 (in SS) at your local hardware store for $3-4. The phillips head will look cheesy.
I'm looking at one of the real (chromed)fender screws right now...and it looks to be a #8 x 3/4" long torx-head sheetmetal screw with an integrated small dia washer. Here's some close-up "much larger than actual size" pics:

I bought the ones on ebay and they are screws you can buy at the hardware store. When i bought i guess i was thinking of polished stainless steel, man was i surprised. I couldnt fault the seller because he didnt state they were polished. I used the ones i bought on ebay to replace the ones on the car while i had the original ones chromed, so i did get some use out of them.

They are #8 and the length is 3/4 and also 1" depending where they are located.....this will take care of the fenders, doors, trunck are vert or coupe.
I got stainless that look great and I paid $12 for 200 of them
Any hardware store has them or can oredr them

Jim Dawes turned me onto Fastenal for the Stainless. I had the Chrome from Eckler's for $79.99, but sent them back and ordered by the hundreds from Fastenal for like $7.00 per hundred.
Thanks Jim!!!
