Default Lepera bare bones installed. now what?

So I installed a Lepera bare bones solo seat Now I want to do something with the two exposed seat mounting nuts that are on the fender. Any suggestions?

Same dilemma here. Just installed a Buttcrack, have 5 ugly holes plus to remove or not remove the clear plastic scratch protector? Bought two Mustang bibs, the full and the mini. Don't really care for the full size although it does a nice job of covering all the holes and the plastic scratch protector. I like the looks of the mini bib - it covers the two holes directly behind the seat, but still have the three holes for the factory rack. For now, have a chrome plastic plug for the back hole from the stealer ($6.95!) and two chrome bolts in the front holes. If I knew I was going to stay solo, I'd remove the plastic scratch protector, plug and paint the holes. But I occasionally ride two-up, so I need to keep these mounting points available.

Plugged fender holes with chrome plugs from Ace Hardware. A buck each - cant beat it. Put a little silicone behind them, under the fender, just to make sure they stay.
