Default Autobody hole plugs

At lunch today was talking with a guy about the locator pins for the emblems on the trunk and how the holes need to be welded to close them. Anyway, he told me that the guys on his forum who are removing the spoilers or front license plate holes use some plastic plugs that snap into the old holes and are easily painted. While they won't pass up close, they were acceptable depedning on the size hole they were used.

When I do a search, I find nut/bolt fastener supply places.

Any of you know where to get info on these plugs?

LOL, I may need some too...

Some idiot lady rear ended me the other day and I got 2 holes
in my rear bumper caused by her license plate screws.

Those look good for front license plate holes.

The guy whom I talked with mentioned they had a variety of sizes...I've seen some plugs on another LS400 many years ago. Since it was black, it wasn't that bad.
