Filling license plate holes...

I removed my front license plate again (I think it looks much better without it ), but there are two holes left on the bumper. What do you guys do to fill it up, I want to be able to re-install the license plate in the future. Is there some sort of "push-in" top/cover thing that I can cover the holes with, and remove them when I want to? Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!

Here is 2 suggestions!!

1. You could replace the screws back into the holes and paint the screw heads to match the color of your car.

2. You could put push plugs into the holes and paint them. Push plugs can be picked up at any auto parts store for next to nothing.

Thanks SpyGuy!!

I'll go grab some plugs, I think they have more of a "flush" look. Thanks

ok, now I know everyone loves the no front plate look, as do I. But in lots of states, its illegal and you get fix-it tickets. no biggie, but irritateing none the less. I was bout to take mine off and plug those holes(thinking now how to advoid heavy patroled areas) and then my lightbulb upstairs turns on. paint the plate holder to match the body. not the same as pulling it off, but look REAL good, plus no tickets. no big black eyesore either. I got the duplicolor import car spray paint from walmart- for those with sunlight silver proteges, the color Artic Silver is a VERY close match to the protege color. I can email pics if somone PM's me.
