Default Covering hole in door panel (moving comps to kick panel)

I'm getting ready to move my comps into the kick panels where they should have been in the first place and putting a set of Peerless SLS 6.5 in the doors. I have holes a little above the factory speaker location where I had mounted the tweeters. Any suggestions on how to cover those holes? I was thinking about trying to find some plugs that size, like what people use to cover the rear wiper hole, and either paint them gray or cover them with fabric or band sticker.

I don't know if it would look too good, but you could try to find rubber pluggs like the kind that you have all over the body of the car where they shoot the anti-rust.

This is what they look like:

You can use a sink sprayer cover for the rear wiper hole, so I suppose it'd be the right size.http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...OML7lwfE7u3DBw

I think that's it!
Or I guess you could use one of these 3...

I haven't gotten off my lazy ___ and made them yet. I let procrastination get the best of me, and now Scion Pinups is next weekend and I don't have a damn thing done. Oopsie. I'll post pics of what I come up with... whenever that may be.

Ok, I did this a couple months ago and am just now getting around to posting pics. Procrastination is my strong suit. I used iron on patches and some kind of all purpose adhesive that seemed a lot like rubber cement. The door panels are sitting on my couch because I was in the middle of some other mods. If you were at Scion Pinups then you got to see everything.
