Why wouldn't that work? Simple enough solution. If you have a need to make it more difficult, hardware stores carry plastic and rubber plugs in all sizes. Just take one of your bolts in for sizing.

The only problem with this idea, after she talks with her friends and get's a good Lawyer, they'll be sitting your chit out on the street and all you'll have to screw is empty
holes. plus your pocket's will be empty!!

I went with the black plastic caps from Lowe's - simple and cheap. Was just looking to hide the holes.

Screwin' empty holes? Hopefully we all are... what's the alternative?

I bought chrome hex bolts from the dealership.
