Default License Plate Holes

I have decided to live dangerously (I live in Illinois, which requires a front plate) so I had the dealership yank off the black front license plate holder. Of course this left four holes. The salesman told me to talk to the body shop that painted my lowers. Has anyone had their holes professionally filled, and if so, can they do a much better job than I can, and how much should it cost.

I got my car from an out-of-state dealership and had it delivered to me here in AZ. I originally told them to make sure they didn't put on the bracket, but sure enough, when it showed up it had it on. I took it to the local Audi dealership and they did it at the expense of the original dealership - It would have cost me $300. They had to take the front bumper off and paint the entire thing - still seems pretty steep to me.

Thanks a lot. I am sure that the results will be dependant on how much I am willing to spend. I appreciate the response, though. I was thinking the max I would spend would be $150. I just feel so stupid because I meant to tell them to not put it on, but just forgot.

I just live with the holes, they are not all that noticeable. I'd rather spend $300 towards a chip.

Default check my pic post, I made my own bumper plugs. ...

Got them from a hardware store, painted them with factory touch up paint and squeezed them in.
