I have the need for a couple specialty bolts, i.e. costmetic bolts. Ones that are "dressy" if you will for some interior pieces. I'm looking at something that is 1/8" in size and maybe 3/4-1" long? I wanted to get some that had GMC in the bolt head but cant find any. So I guess I'm looking for ideas on what type of bolt would be nice dressy/decorative. Maybe a torx head, chrome bolt, etc.

It's going to hold a piece of trim on the door panel, fyi.
 
Seems like an 1/8" bolt head would be too small for any letters.

Edit: Where in Tulsa do you live?

Ace Hardware seems to have a decent selection of stuff, depending on which one you frequent. If you know what you want, you can get stuff from the Rule Company at around 6th and Peoria.
 
South Tulsa, almost Jenks. I guess I should have clarified...1/8" or possibly 1/4". It would be to hold the door panel inserts on that the pull strap on the door goes through. i have glued them back on once already and thought a cool looking bolt to hold them on would be nifty.
 
Are you looking for something like this:

I'd call Fastenal or a local nut and bolt supply house and ask them. Typiclly people use the lil beveled finishing washers like this and a counter sink headed screw for these types of apps.
