How do you plug your holes?

I recently converted to an RS spoiler and I have 2 bolt holes exposed. I'm wondering how you guys plug the holes? Any one that did the conversion experience this?

the OEM bolts show. Need to figure out how to cover those.

I haven't done the conversion but if they are not drain holes I've plugged up others with clear silicone (from Menards' in a caulk gun).

When I changed the pillar lights, I fished the wires through one of the existing mounting holes. I used my vinyl wrap to cover it up. Haven't had any issues in years. If I had to do it again, I might use the 3M clear protection as the adhesive is much stronger.

Not drain holes, I don't know If I want to caulk it, makes sense, but I was thinking like a cover or bumper pin.

Thats an idea, I was planning on wrapping the pillars and rear garnish. Maybe I can cover it with some wrap. Did you use a specific color that matched? Or because it was in pillar that it didn't really matter?

I didn't color match anything. I used a piece of wrap to cover the hole with the wiring protruding from it about an inch or so like a big roofing shingle.

Ahh I think I understand. I was actually able to cover the holes with some universal bumper clips from autozone. I bought small wrap patches to wrap like you did, and thought to try the clips, if they didn't work, oh well, i return them for 3 bucks.

But it worked and looks better than I anticipated

You could paint them with some color match paint if you wanted to but they do look fine as is.
