Default Body work question

I recently removed my OEM rear lip to put on another one. I was left with these lovely holes all the way across the bumper...


My question is, do you guys think it would be cheaper for me to buy a new bumper, and have the shop paint the bumper and the lip together, or get them to patch the holes and paint the lip? I don't think the new lip will cover the holes on the left that are higher.

if ur new lip wont cover the holes then you should just get a new rear bumper.....

hopefully the shop will paint the bumper and lip together and the lip would cover the holes.....GL

Even if it does cover the holes, I don't want dirt and crap going through the holes and getting on the 3M tape. I'm thinking I'll just go the new bumper route.
