So I spent 20 minutes putting on my side license plate bracket today. When I took off the stock one the holes were WAY more noticeable than I thought they would be. Any great ideas on how to cover them (Besides body work)? I was thinking chrome license plate bolts would fills the holes nicely but I don't know about the funny fourth one. What about a slightly curved medallion or something? Thoughts, opinions would be appreciated.

 

Maybe a decal, if you could find the right one.

 

Kuryakyn makes a pretty nice looking cover just for that in a couple styles. Been thinking about one myself since I've had a side mount for a while and just left the holes exposed.

 

Don't know what to tell you...I pulled the light as well, went with a light/license kit for the side and filled in the fender.

 

All my tins are in paint right now, so it was easy for me to get the holes filled. Also filling the big hole for the taillight and putting a run/brake module in for the turn signals to do everything. Here's a shot of my side-mount tag setup. It's not mounted on permanently yet because the shocks are disconnected from the bottoms, but you get the idea (I don't need tag lights either, I have Historic plates, haha):

 

Maybe a leather fender bib could be improvised, was going to say chrome bolt heads but the holes are not symmetric at all.

 

I'd hate to put a decal on there. Maybe I can find a thin medallion that I could form to the shape of the fender

 

Chop the fender and move the tail light up to cover the holes.

 

Kuryakyn makes hole covers as stated above. Might be a decent idea.

Could also use a HD medallion. Look through the genuine motor accessories search tool putting in "medallion." Was a few 2.5" round ones and an ole "Live to Ride" one that might work.

 

I had a member of another forum make me a killer looking spade to cover mine. PM me if you want to contact him.
