I filled mine with plastic fender plugs available from Lowes. They give a nice smooth look and cost just a buck or so for four of them.
Ditto on that, I didn't like the flat black look so I stuck the plugs in a piece of cardboard and spay painted them gloss black. As for water, I have washed the bike several times and have not noticed any leakage. But they are not going to hold out water for hours of riding in the rain.

guess you could put a small spot of silicone on them...

That's what I did - just a small dab of silicone sealer on the threads and I've never had any leakage.
