Default License plate bumper plugs

Is there anywhere we can get plugs that match our paint code when removing front license plate? I've seen unpainted ones on eBay but was wondering what some other members did. Buy unpainted and have it painted?

I'm not worried about driving with no plates....I'm talking about plugs to cover the holes drilled in the bumper by the dealership

I went with the bumperplugs.com as well and pretty happy with them. Hopefully yours doesn't have marks where someone used the wrong size screw like mine did.

Yeah I'm not too upset as I got a really good deal on the car. My other option is to replace it with an F-sport bumper in the near future.

I ordered a pair of these for my 2013 "Riviera Red" GS 350 F Sport and received a pair that match my wifes Toyota Highlander's "ooh la la rouge mica" (dark maroon) perfectly. I would use them for my wife's car but she doesn't have holes in her bumper. I guess I'm about to find out what the return policy is for 2 $35 plastic screws. (counting expensive shipping for something that had no weight to it at all) Disappointed.
