Default Dealer cut holes in rear bumper!! GRRR!

Well since a few weeks back when I removed my Nismo rear Diffusers I noticed that the dealer cut two holes on each side of the bumper even though I had requested the install to be done by other means like 3M tape or something like my spoiler was. Well now Im getting ready to sale or trade car in for an 06 Roadster. I wanted to know how on earth I can fix this? Or at least cover it up nicely till i trade it in, early Decemeber or end of November. I know a body shop is the way to go but the 2 body shops I went to say Its easier to just get a new bumper. The holes are the size of the whole that is left when you remove the rear wiper. Those who did this mod, how did you cover those holes?

The ppl who removed their rear wipers used common parts at such stores as Home Depot. Here's the link for that thread. Good luck.

The USDM Rear Side Skirts would have to be totally cut up to install them without drilling holes and they would not be secure...

Thats the only way to install those securely... And it is by following the installation instructions...
