I think this was the one, from Home Depot. Looks good on the car, much smaller head than the ones from bumperplugs.com , just slightly larger that the hole itself.

I would suggest using some epoxy to fill the holes and then covering with vinyl blackout tape. Pics below are without holes, but you get the idea.

You can fill the holes with Bondo Spot Putty. It comes in a tube and it's like a red toothpaste. Fill the holes, let it dry and cover it with vinyl.

Epoxy would work but it tends to run and it's not easy to sand.

Hate to tell you, but that looks awful. Fill the holes and cover with vinyl.

3M makes vinyl black out sheets. This is what I bought.
