Front license plate trouble

Background:
I live in PA, I don't have or need a front license plate. The dealer I used did not have an EX with side-airbags in the color I wanted. The only one they could find semi-local was in Jersey. This being my first new car I was excited to get it and excited that they found what I wanted period. I accepted delivery, only to realize later I have a license plate holder screwed into my front bumper that I don't need. I'm well aware it was dumb, but now I need to deal with it.

Question:
How do I get rid (fill/cover up) of 4 screw holes in my front bumper?

Worst case, I get a front plate to cover them, but I'd like to know if I have any options. I'd greatly appreciate any advice on the matter.

That's pretty sweet looking, but it's not gonna work for me. I have four screw holes in my bumper. Guess they wanted to make sure the plate was secure.
