What did you use to plug the rivet holes on your front bumper?

I still need to plug my g/f's 08 Impala and I haven't found a nice way to do it yet.

I went to auto zone and bought some clear license plant screw covers. I then used some primer and painted them white. I left the scres in the bumper to hold the covers in place. They do stick out of the front bumper but it was quick and easy. less work then bonding the wholes and sanding and repainting the whole bumper.

Oh okay, ours were rivets so I had to tap them out to take the plate off and I don't want to put a screw back in. Thanks

I like it. Is it still there? It looks like you removed the whole shebang.

You should be able to find some rubber grommets at home depot I would think.
