Default bumper cover front plate holes

Is there a good way other than replacement, to fill/repair the holes from a front plate holder in the bumper cover? Don't use a front plate and hate the ugly holes in the bumper cover.

I have the same issue. This what I plan to do.

Go to Lowes and buy black plastic plugs that fit.
Paint them with matching touch up paint.
Plug them in.

I figure that the plugs will not look out of place since the bumper already has the sensors along the front. Better than holes and cheap to do.

I was thinking of doing the same thing untill I can afford a new/used front bumper cover.

A repaint of the front bumpter cover should only be about $300. Did it on my car and looks way better!

At that point you could paint the slats or mesh in the girll if you want too.
