I just removed the mudflaps from my '04. Does anyone have a suggestion about covering the unsightly screw holes that are now visible?

I put the screws back in to cover the holes but don't like the look.

Get mud in there and it'll fix it.

HA HA yeah it would, but I'm thinking something a little more permanent

Put other mods on the truck that draw your eye away from the little 1/8th inch holes.
all joking aside, I got to the point where I didn't notice them. I would say you could get some plastic or some bondo and put over them, but that is too much work for me just to cover some little holes.

I had the plastic fasteners left over from when I pulled the hood insulation mat out of my Sentra...they're just black plastic discs with little Christmas tree-shaped wedges on the underside. I expected them to stay in for an hour or so, but it's been at least a year and a half I think and all 4 are still there.
I also bedlined that portion of my truck, so they really don't stand out at all. I don't even notice anymore.
This is pre-bedliner.
EDIT: It just occurred to me that maybe you mean the holes in the rear bumper corners and the front upper flap area...where the lower flaps attached...gotcha.
Yeah, I don't have any suggestions there. I pulled the front upper flaps because my tires were rubbing them badly. Haven't done anything about the holes in the rear.

The little Christmas tree type panel clips like you used should work in the plastics as well. I was going to do that to mine but pretty much stopped noticing the holes before I bought them.

After about a week you never even notice that there were ever any holes in them. The rear bumperetts are pretty much sacrifical anyway, mine have enough scars and been bolted back on with whatever fasteners on hand that worked based on the holes that were expanded due them being ripped off on trees and rocks.
