I got screwed !!!!

Well, not really

A few days ago, I replace the black torx screw on the headlight bezel with SS screws that a lot of owners are putting on the doors, engine bay and rear trunk. Like so

Well, it didn't look finished at all, so here's what I did to spruce it up a little bit, I applied some of the finishing washer and now it looks done

But why stop there, gotten a little screw crazy so I did this, just to finish off the engine compartment

So I was putting gas and notice something missing from this

to this

I know this ain't those thousand dollar mod that some do and it's not gonna add any more hp/tq. But for $25 total including the trunk,door and engine compartment. subtle mods my friends, subtle mods...........
