my friend used toothpaste. no BS. he packed it in there tight and used a hair dryer to dry it. painted over the toothpaste w/ a paint marker and hasn't came off yet. even when he washes it. his car is white though so i dunno about black. i would take it into a shop to fill it and paint it.
i need to shave em down first, whats my best bet for that?
i saw all types of fillers at pep boys so the filling isnt an issues. the real problem is grinding the nubs down to the surface without ******* up the paint good.

damn! just looked up the price on those plugs and there's no way in hell i'm paying $50+ to fill those holes. looks like i'm back to the original plan.
sorry wikky man i thought we were on to something.

If you can get a deburring tool use that. They are made to remove sharp edges on a drilled hole. You should be able to pick one up for less than 10 bucks. It looks like a countersink bit on a screwdriver like handle. That way you can fill the holes and paint over them without having to use those plugs. But if you don't mind the look of those plugs that'd be the easiets cheapest route. Nevermind about the plugs being cheapest, I wouldn't pay $50 for them either. Let me know if you have any more questions about the deburring tool
i'd atleast go see what it would cost to do at a body shop.
obviously best quality
i dont know about you but if i had some half assed thing done on my car that i have already upgraded for appearance, it would seriously bother me to have a hole filled and covered poorly (like with toothpaste, thats hilarious). but thats just me and its a matter of opinion.

Jesus Cowboy! I thought you were talking about a different kind of "3 freaking holes!"
I thought we were required to have front license plates here in Illinois... If not, I'm pissed b/c I wouldn't have drilled them!
