I've been using aluminum screws to hold the battery in on my car. Most all the screws on my car are black aluminum so you really can't tell. Aluminum works fine for the most part. You just have to make sure you put them in tight cuz they can work their way loose. You also have to be a little gentle when tightening otherwise you will strip them. The last thing you wanna do is bust out the dremel to get a screw out.
