You might hit the local home improvement SS, look for some plastic hole plugs and paint them body color to match, not perfect but better than holes.

Bras can save the paint on long runs, but they can wreak havoc if you don't pull 'em off frequently and clean under them. I use "helicopter tape" on long runs or in conditions likely to breed stone chips, when ya get home just peel it off. Griots has some nice tape like stuff in the catalog...just a thought.

Just put limo tint on the front windshield and use the holes to mount cameras in for front viewing...

I would probably put some duck tape on the back side, fill in the holes with some bondo or JB weld or epoxy using a Popsicle stick, then use some soapy water and your finger to smooth it over so it is smooth, use a paint pen to color match, then a clear coat pen, then wet sand the whole bumper.

At work we us an aluminum based bondo to fill small dents and such. Its by 3M called 1751. We spray soapy water on it to take the lines out and make it easier to sand. If you dont put enough in the hole you will just be stuck with the little divots that the rest of us are stuck with.

There are the specs, as to were you can get it, well, I am not really sure. If you lived close to me I could get you a 100gm kit no problem, or even a 25gm kit which is more then plenty for what you are going to do.

SS - I am a fan of the paint the home depot plastic plugs to body match, but that is what we did with the GTO's when we did spoiler deletes until we got them filled and painted.

Great to know I get to drill into my bumper,

I was going to order that, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I am not allowed to use power tools by myself, I tend to break things.

Found a panel mid compartment for free. Can't wait to get it. 4 months out.
Also determined that the first major mods I do are swapping head and tail lights for Depo and Bermudas.
