What do you do about the front license plate holes?

Hello everyone,
'08 TL here. Went to take off the front plate and not only did I notice the screw holes, I also see a rectangular indent on the bumper that outlines the plate.

Do you think I can get this buffed out? For those that run without a front plate, what did you do?

get front bumper plugs from your dealer. $23

OR

send vendor, AckTL05 a PM and see if he has any left. $11

OR

go to home/depot lowes and get 2 plastic plugs there and use touchup paint to match color. $.79 + touch up paint

regarding the place where the plate used to be, as long as you can run your fingernail over the area and not "feel" the scratch, it should buff out with some polishing compound.

I think here in California you are mandated to run a front plate. It does not have any month or year stickers on it, though.
