What are my options for filling the holes where a front license plate used to be?

I plan on buying a car in Jersey either today or tomorrow that has the front plate holder on it. I dont want to keep it on there, but I also dont want any unsightly holes on my bumber from it. I just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with this and could maybe offer some advice on making it look good without filling and respraying the entire bumber

Thanks.

Caust that doesn't look like **** or anything. IF you buy a car in NJ or any other front plate and you do'nt want holes, take it to a body shop, have them filled and repainted.

yup, not gonna get away with a cheap touch up. you'll have to respray at least a decent portion of the bumper to color match... if not the whole thing, part of the fenders and hood. or you can put a racing stripe on it wide enough that it'll cover the holes

Thanks for the input. I was really hoping that there was a way to do it without respraying the whole bumper...seems kind of funny for two 1/4"-inch holes. I'll post up pictures when I decide which way to go.
