Front Linsence Plate holes (filling them)

How would I go about filling the holes in my front bumper from my plate? I think the Solara looks 20 times better w\o the front plate.. I kno its illegal.. but it looks real good. How would I fill the existing holes?
thanks

What I do is find a plastic plug,
plug the holes and
paint the plug using touch up paint. :fadein:

Mine did not as well, but the dealer drilled two holes to put the front plate.

Use epoxy filler and finish it off with touch up paint.

That's the reason why you use epoxy instead of bondo.
