Default Plate and Frame

Yesterday I picked up my Night Terror plate and today my black powder coated grand sport frame arrived. I painted the screw heads black to hide them. It came with screw caps but it didn't fit on the screw heads. Oh well. I like it!

I got mine like this from a guy on amazon for around $30, really high quality metal frame. Name was "car beyond", not sure if I can put a link since they are not a sponsor but if you search on amazon you will find it. They have several versions.

The screw caps should fit. Did you install the clear plastic cap retainers to the screws prior to installing the caps?

The screw head was too big to fit inside the plastic cup/washer thing. I thought about just getting another screw with a smaller head so it would fit within the cup but since I had black paint on hand, I decided to just paint the screw heads.
