Picked these up today at Auto Zone. Chrome bolt head covers. I put them on every 7/16" bolt head: fenders, hood hinge etc.

I agree that they stick up too high. Looks like sockets to me.

I like your strut towers. I may get a brace though.

How about painting the bolts gloss black instead of chrome jackets?

I did something similar and covered the strut tower bolts and a few of the more obvious bolt heads - but left the fender bolts alone as they are body color and (IMO) blend better w/o the chrome. They do sell shorter nut covers that will not stick up so high and I even drilled the covers for the strut tower bolts so the ends go through the middle and the cover fits down to the lower edge of the nuts.
