Default Bumper question

My car was bought from a state where they required front licence plates, Therefore, I now have two LARGE screw holes in my front bumper cover! Do they make body colored plugs for the bumper for these holes or do I need to have the bumper cover repaired at the body shop?

i don't think lexus make those plugs. honda makes those plugs, you might be able to find a good match if you have one of the common colors.

Thanks for your help Lou. Here I was thinking I had a problem which was in some way unique to the rest of my fellow car owners...
Just took to the body shop today to have the bumper cover repaired. I understand the bumper plug idea, but I know that those holes are there, and that will drive me crazy! So I told the shop PLEASE make it perfect! Will pick up next week, then it goes away in hibernation for the winter

The stock Lexus bumper cover has little guide spots to use as an aid when drilling the holes, I don't like those either. When I had my cover replaced (road debris trashed my bumper cover) I had them refinish those guide spots and make them disappear. My wife's bumper got hit, and when it was refinished, we did the same on hers. No front plates in Arizona
