Had an emblem over mine for the first year, but last winter I took the fender off and had the holes filled in and the fender painted to look like the holes were never there.

I had the same problem in finding just what I wanted to cover the holes. I used a challenge coin holder from motordog69. It attaches to the fender with RTV and the coin is held in with RTV. This makes it very easy to change ou the coin when you want to change the look
