need some new/creative ideas

ok guys so my front bumper has 3 holes above the "ACURA" on my front bumper ( dealer must have dilled them in to hold the license plate )+ 2 holes where the bumper plugs should be. I dont know how to fill in those holes and I'm pretty sure i will fail at trying. even if I was able to fill in he holes I am certainmy paint matching skills with the touchup will just make it look bad.

for a little more detail, the 3 holes are pretty close to each other and probably is only as long as the "CURA" on my front bumper.
i have a 07type S and i have the aspec kit for it but when it does go on, it will still not cover the 3 holes


so my questions are:

what can I do to cover those holes?
( maybe put some sort of chrome bar / strip?) and 3m tape it?
might be tacky but something has to go in front of it

and where can i get paint matched bumper plugs for cheap?

You can get the bumper plugs from the dealer ... usually the parts guy has a bunch they took off of cars .

The other holes I used the little filler caps used to cover the screw heads of Robertson/Phillips screws in cupboards. Available at your hardware stoer.

I painted them with touch up paint that I got from www.paintscratch.com then stuck it on with silicone sealant.

Dale (jesstzn) has a great idea. I got some of the plastic plugs from Best Buy that attach the plastic price tag holders to the shelves and painted them with touch-up paint.
