Default trex-hiding screws

Hi all,

I tried the trex-suggested method of screwing below the surface and tapping the
trex down over the screw head with a hammer. I really think it looks bad. I'm
looking for alternative methods for securing Trex decking. For the upper deck
portions, I can screw from below, but the lower deck is only six inches off the
ground. Suggestions? I'm also applying a 1x8 Trex facing material and I am
thinking about making some Trex plugs and drilling out for the screw heads. Is
this a good idea? Will I be able to sand these down when done? I see that
sanding causes immediate discoloration, but will the color go back to "normal"
in a few weeks?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
