Default Front Bumper: Fill in?

My SC recently just got out to the shop after being in there for almost two months. On April 27th a guy pulled out a parking lot and hit my car on the front right side at about the headlight. Anyway the shop had a hard time finding SC parts in the area seeing as there are not many of them. I love that I now have the car back, but the front bumper has two holes for a license plate bracket to go and I do not want to put one on there, but the two holes are kinda ugly looking. My question is there someway to fill this holes in? I would imagine that it would be similar to filling in holes of where emblems once where, so how do you guys do that?

I'm out of town, but I will post a pic when I get back.

Go to http://www.bumperplugs.com/. A bit expensive, but can be color matched to many factory colors. Other than that I've heard of using some epoxy and touch up paint.

I think the holes were better. I say have it sanded, glazed and painted. make it look like it theres not supposed to be holes there, not a cover-up

A whole lot more than a couple of painted plugs. What color is your car? I think the painted plug route is the way to go. It's cheap and gets the job done. It may not look the best, but at 65mph no one will notice.
