Question Camouflaging Front Plate Frame Hole?

Hello, I recently removed the front plate bracket from my taffeta fit (2010), and it left a rather unsightly black hole. It's only about the size of a pea, however it drives me absolutely insane.

Any ideas on how to fill/camouflage this little hole? I was thinking maybe a paste or plaster of some sort? Anyone with experience, please let me know how you handled it.

FYI front plates are not required here in Florida.

not totally clean and not cheap either:
BumperPlugs for Honda

you can have it color matched there... but yeah you will still "see" the plug... so it depends how clean a finish you want..

i thought about moving my plate but knew there would be a hole left so I decided to leave mine as is... unless I properly filled it.. sanded painted the bumper it would always bug me..

Thanks for the info. I might try that. Is it ghetto and funny that I'd considered plugging it (from the back end) with white chewing gum? Lol XD

I have used "christmas tree" push clips in the past to fill those holes.
