Default Goin' Wingless

So I pick up my 99 35th tomorrow afternoon on my way to our beach house on the Oregon Coast. When going wingless, aside from getting a new lid or having mine shaved and painted, what is the best way to cover the holes without its looking hella ugly? Bolts, anything?

Thanks,
Free

Ok, but what size and everything. I doubt the guys their will know what I am talking about. DO they just kind of snap into place and push down into the holes? There are 2 holes on either side, correct? Blackpony, how much did it cost to get your lid shaved?
