When I repaint the front of mine, I'll either install dzus fasteners
or 1/4-20 stainless bolts with recessed allen heads. If I replace the
stock panels with polished aluminum or stainless ones, I'll probably
go with the dzus fasteners.

Another option would be some snap-on bolt head covers; paint to match
or get chrome ones.
