With color matching plugs, or with body+paint work to make it "flush"?

You didn't say what color car you drive. Yes, it makes a difference. Three stage paints like the glacier frost mica in the link you posted are significantly more difficult to color match (and hence significantly more expensive to paint) than something like non-metallic black.

I think AeroTect offers sth called bumper plugs. They are for "filling" the license plate holes.. but I'm not sure if they will fit in the emblem holes, cuz emblem holes are smaller.

Try this link:

P.S. they are pre-painted
