Default Front License Plate Bracket Holes

Since I live in Colorado, I have to have a front license plate on. The dealer already had installed my license plate bracket before I had the chance to tell them not to so now I have two small holes in my front bumper where the bracket bolts to the bumper.

I am thinking about entering my car into a show and would take the license plate bracket off but then there would be two small holes there. I was thinking about painting the screws that hold the bracket to the car white and just screwing the screws back into the bumper. Then I figured this would look pretty odd with two white screws in the bumper.

Any ideas or what do you guys do to cover those holes up? It would be nice to have a custom piece that I could bolt to those holes that would look nice.

I've seen pluggs that go in the holes. They are tad expensive IMO about 40 dollars if I remember. I'm at work right now so the internet is slow, but try a search for bumper holes on the forums and I'm sure you'll be able to find the thread talking abou them.

Looks great! What did you buy from Home Depot? Are they removable?

I'd like to be able to remove the plugs and put the plate bracket on when I am daily driving so I don't get at ticket but at a show, I'd like to put the plugs on.

Although a bit more pricey, pre-painted bumper plugs are also a nice a option. As for the other plugs, just go to any hardware and look for push in plugs that come in a wide variety of hole diameters. I found the ones for my trunk at Ace.
