I did the same, and just got it filled and repainted. Looks great, but if you don't wanna get it repainted, use puddy. I dont know how long it lasts, but I had it on there for about a week before I got mine repainted.

Any pics?

I've seen some with carrier bolts painted to match. Cheaper quick fix if you don't have the cash to get it filled and painted.

The easiest thing to do is go to home depot or lowe's and get Hillman Nylon plugs...2 sizes since they are different size holes...get Hillman PN 881277 which is a 5/16 plug and Hillman PN 881278 which is a 3/8 inch plug. They are small and fit perfectly in the holes. Cost me a total of 2 bucks...Just get some touch up paint to make it match and you are good to go...just did this yesterday.

Got mine at Lowes, in the hardwear section. They are in the drawers with all the specialty bolts and stuff. They come in white or black, of course they only had one of each when I was there. I used touch up paint and turned out great.

In the hardware section where they sell all the nuts and bolts....

Plugging them is one option and an option that a lot of people do because it's cheap and easy. If you want it fixed correctly though you will need to sand the paint off in that area, fill them, smooth them out, prime, and paint it. If you've never attempted bodywork before I would suggest having it done. It's not all that hard to fix if you know what you are doing, but for a novice, it may turn out to be a PITA.

Cool how you managed to get the car and camera in almost the same positions, before and after.

thats photochopped, not only is the camera in the EXACT same position which means he set the camera up and never touched it, installed the springs right there and set it down, waited for the exact time the next day to take another picture without moving it. Look at the antenna refleciton on the window, same exact place. As well as the blurs in front of the front bumper and just below the rear bumper.
