Screw Hole in the bumper

I was looking to either run no plate or maybe even mount it to the tow hook area as well as fill in the "ACURA" logo on the front.

Lo and behold the dealership had decided that the two mounting areas on the front bumper just weren't enough to hold on the plate/mount and decided to drill into the car!

Now i got this and am wondering what the hell I can do about it...

I have the exact same thing on mine, I was just thinking about carefully
Trimming off the high edge around the hole using some filler and hitting it with a drop of touch-up. Should look better then a hole

What I did was trim or smooth out the edges of the hole and get one of those tiny filler caps that cabinet makers put in the heads of screws in cupboards . Then I painted it with touch up and siliconed it on . Hardly noticable.

What exactly did you use to fill in the 2 large holes on the bttm? How did you know the size?
