That's exactly the point.

Also, I guesssss, you could say the cover up the head of the bolt to aid in corrosion protection.

I don't think I ever open my door wide enough to even notice the bolts.

2013 Subaru STI Limited BBS wheels on 15mm spacer adapters. I had to shave down the wheel studs to mount them.

I still enjoy mine, but it's a lot of money to pay for an overlay of the stock fenders. If you're not going for an overall theme, I wouldn't waste my time. I've got STI logos everywhere and still working on getting door stickers, aero lip emblems, front grille badge and trunk badge mounted to complete the look (I already have STI wheels, STI replica aero and custom painted STI logo Brembos).

If I were one who wasn't going for a "BRZ STI" theme then the money could definitely be better spent on a GrimmSpeed intake (I already have), hood struts (already have), strut bar (already have), Toyota armrest (want), knee pads (already have), etc. etc. I think you get the point. I've slaved myself to the parts at this point, but there may yet be salvation for you!

Google translate description from that website:

Last year based on the "Bilstein damper kit" that appeared from STI in suspension related, adopted a dedicated Bilstein dampers subjected to Settings to tS only. As well as to achieve a supple ride, the front is adopted an inverted strut with a reputation for a high rigidity. In particular to improve the convergence of the cornering initial body shaking, said, that will be remembering the high sense of security roll characteristics.

I am under the assumption that the silvers were not produced by Bilstein.
