Default 944 NA License Plate Screwhole Caps?

I just moved to a state that doesn't have front license plates, so I've removed my old plate and bracket and now have two screw holes in my '86 944 na bumper. What are you people who don't have front license plates use to cover the ugly holes?

Thanks,
Paul

GOOD QUESTION! i've been looking for something also, but the only thing that i have found is www.bumperplugs.com, who want $25 for two!!!!! Is there anything that i can pick up from the hardware store that would work? (and that's less than $25?)

I'm looking through all my pics but the plugs don't show up since the car is a dark color...

I'll have to get a shot sometime this week.

No I didn't order from that company. You can pick up a box of plugs from your local hardware store.

P.S. If you want, I can ship you some plugs for $25

go to Lowe's, They carry something similar to that in the hardware section. Look in the speciality drawers.

The interior trim clips (very much like what Daredevil used) from an older GM trunk (1990s) work great, used them on my 924; eight years with out a problem (never popped out are moved)
