Front Bumper License Plate Holder Holes

Does anyone know any tricks or anything to hide the holes in the front bumper that were left by the front license plate holder? Bought the car used and didn't want it on there.

Plug them and color match the plugs with GM spray paint.

Or get them professionally filled, sanded and repainted.

I know people that have bought little push fasteners and color matched them. doesn't look bad. I just got a quote for 350 to have the holes filled and the bumper painted so I'm going that route to get rid of some of the rock chips at the same time

Can someone link me the plugs? Or did you just paint the screws that came with the front plate holder?

Just go to like Autozone or O'reily's which ever you have and go to the section that has plastic push pins for like bumpers and stuff. You can get little packs of them for only a few dollars. Then just paint them. If I had a link I'd hook you up but I dont.

plugs are ok for dark colors because they aren't that noticeable
