Round head, pan head, button head, oval head?
Phillips or flat head?
Bright or painted black (like the mirrors?)

Bill | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 679 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2006 Posts: 679 | Right again, Bill. I wrote "fenders" when I meant "doors."
I know what you are talking about, with the door panel fasteners. I'll shoot for that look. Right now I have 2 round heads and 4 flat heads. I'll switch to oval head phillips.
One last question: should these be painted black like the mirror base, or left bright? Mine are bright, but look out of place. I'm leaning black.
