Default Dealer drilled holes

How's it going everybody? Well, I have a tC with dealer drilled bumper holes but I don't bother putting my license plate on. Though it's not a big deal, I was wondering of any solutions to help spruce up the holes. I went to bumperplugs.com, but they are over $30 with S&H plus they don't have a color-match for SSM. So, if anyone knows a place or a site that has something to cover up the holes, let those of us on good ol' scionlife know.

You could find something like that at Lowe's, but I'm not sure what you could do to color match it. Touch up paint?

I'd just get some smooth plugs and colormatch them with some touchup. They will almost disappear.

if you do not need a 2nd plate on the front, tell the dealer to fix it. My dealer is even tho a front plate is needed here

Good theory, but unless they drilled them by mistake they would charge to plug them. Personally the less the dealer touches my box the better. Why risk having them make it look worse or messing up something else. Better safe than sorry.
