I used chrome acorn nuts on the outside and 1/4-20 screws inside. Just left the little plastic plug that was under the original plate mount. They looked better than the holes. I got them at Lowes, but from what I've since learned is that if you have a Fastenal near by they carry a larger selection of chrome hardware. You may find something nicer there.
An important side note however...I used my stock plate holder to make a sidemount as per a suggestion for a cheap mod on the this website. The stock holder succumbed to the vibrations and flexing and broke off on the turnpike here in North Texas. I found my old plate though, it was of course useless along with the inspection sticker and plate. Just thought I'd add this little experience.
Best Wishes,
Mike

I got mine out of the Dennis Kirk catalog... spade shaped cover smaller than the Kurakyn but still covers the holes. It had a chrome finish on it that I didn't especially care for so I took the Dremel tool to it ground the chrome off and hit it with the wrattle can (black) it matches so well with the black fender and looks good.
