The Slightly Unsightly Holes Have Disappeared.....
I came across these plastic plugs on Ebay. At $9.98, they do a good job of covering the holes left by the factory. Called "spiffy plugs", they can be found at:

They come as black plastic but I painted them to better match the Antracite interior.

You can get black vinyl, rubber, and chrome ones at most hardware stores, Home Depot and Lowes. Look for them near the cabinet *****. They are called "hole plugs" and come in a variety of sizes. I got mine at OSH and used a 5/8" and a 11/16" since there are two different sized holes. You can usually get them for around $.50 each. On an '05, that's a whopping $2.00!!

I have never been able to find them in Home Depot. I wandered the aisles of 3 different HD. Crying out to anybody in Orange, "Do you have hole plugs?" Nothing, nada, zip. I gave up and am at peace with the "unsightly holes"...
Until yesterday when I bought an auto-x cushion from Wheelie and he threw in 4 chrome ones, so the moral is the way to get them is to spend $40 with another NAM member on another part...
