Removing Bling

Riding season is just about done. Its raining and cold today so I removed my saddle bag chrome rails and my tour pack luggage rack. Kinda like it.
Does anyone know where to get chrome plugs for the holes on the saddle bag gaurds and holes for the luggage rack? Or some alternative that someone here has done?

Thanks

Someone on here posted a pic some time back about putting acorn nuts and bolts in the holes of the saddlebag guard. Didn't look too bad.

For the holes you leave in the plastic after removing your luggage rack, try this product http://bumperplugs.com/ you may even be able to get a close match to your paint.
