Think I'll try this, thanks. 
Think you could get your dealer to fix the inner gouges? I got my dealership to fix them though it did take a little fight in doing so.

Yeah those gouges are bugging all the time.
I got it at Carmax Nissan and I checked all there new cars on the lot and they all have front lisc plate. I can't really argue with them anymore cause of that.

My dealership has the same thing: all the cars have drilled holes. But I explained how unreasonable it is that the screws that were used to affix the plate to the plate holder were WAY to d@mn long, thus making gouge marks that should not be there.
Holes, I can't justify, but the gouges are just plain negligence.... by Nissan (not necessarily your dealership) since they are the ones that put those front plate assembly kits together. I explained that is my choice if I don't want the front plate holder to be on there... and that I would deal with the holes, but definitely not the gouges through the clear coat and paint. They finally budged.

Good advice. Im going to try that. I will post more pix with better lighting and cleaner bumper today.
It looks pretty flushed. I tried using a civic bumperplug but it didn't fit quite right. These are just like little screws.

Let me follow up on this one (wow, resurrected from last year! 
)
This solution is best as it is the most cost efficient as well as A LOT better looking than holes in the front. If you already have touch-up paint, then the cost of this mod is less than a dollar
