Buy one from either site and get it repainted?? Shouldn't cost more than like $5 to paint and clearcoat the plugs.

That was my last resort plan. Fortunately, bumperplugs.com e-mailed me back and said they had a color that very closely approximates SSII (Ferrari?s Grigio Alloy 750). Gonna order it tomorrow.

Why don't you use double tape and a plate without holes?

Not sure I understand. I don't want the plate at all and need to fill in the holes that are already there with the plugs.

As long as your dealer didn't screw up and drill more holes than necessary, it should be just 2.
