Actually I had a buddy that just got a small square of similar colored Vinyl from a lettering/graphics shop to cover his, it was pretty smooth looking and did the job pretty good. Most places should have a SIMILAR colored silver vinyl. Just my $.02...

Dealership should have some, that's where I got mine. If you know the color code, sometimes walmart will have it too.

how is it stupid?, its better then having giant plugs coming out of your truck. you cut cut small pieces to go over the holes. better then buying stupid plugs and painting them. your loss

haha...ya and have to redo the little tape everytime it rains or somethin that will make it peel off...

and u still have the holes to look at

i dont want to look at the holes...which is why i will get the plugs at lowes and touch up paint from my ford dealer

and im not at loss on anything...using clear packing tape on a cars exterior is not something i would do

my friend filled his holes with silicon. I haven't seen it yet, but seems like a good idea if you just get it in clear, then paint over it with touch up paint.

I'd have to disagree. I bought the plugs, sanded 'em down as thin as I could and painted 'em. This is a pic from the first time I did it. Can you see "giant plugs"? I can't.

Very well done. Do you have a close up pic of the filled holes?
