I've been considering ways to cover these until I acquire the factory lights (I know, more weight, more electric consumption, but the 6's lighting is pretty weak, and a little more would go a long way).

I've been thinking of two ways to go about it, one would be filling the holes, sanding the excess material to make a smooth shape. The other would be to simply cover the exterior, most likely creating a golf ball look over time from wind pushing on cover (depending on material of course). If I was to fill the holes, I'd want a lightweight material, maybe great stuff insulation foam or something, but that's a bit nasty/messy to work with, but light. If I cover it, black duct tape would be easiest, and ugliest. I'd rather not comprimise the stock look of my car too much.

I'm open to any suggestions.

Maybe some flexible plastic sheet or something similar that's thin and light and that will be able to be shaped for those spaces. Then use some longish/thin type of buried/flat head bolts with nuts going on the inside part of the bumper, 4 bolts should do the job. Then paint the whole piece black (would be best to find a matte black piece to start with. Also, you could just use some strong glue to glue something similar over those vents but obviously that won't be as strong and might come off when you wash the car or due to shocks.
