Default BumperPlugs on the RX

Has anyone else used bumperplugs.com and been happy with the paint match? I just installed 4 this past weekend and had hoped for a closer tone/color/shade match to the oem paint (Brandywine Mica). I am just not sure if these are going to stay.

I would say that these will rarely ever match as they do not use the same three step paint process used on the vehicle itself. White might be the closest to ever matching.

What are these things? I have been looking for something like this to hide the holes left behind from the stupid number plate holder they put on RX's here in Australia.

I have the bumper plugs on my '04 RX and the color matches nicely. I also have, from the same company, the keyhole plugs for the keyhole in the driver's door handle on both my RX and my SC (the only keyhole on most cars today). Although they require a little modification of the blade that inserts into the keyhole, they look great and don't cost much. In all instances, the color match is perfect.
