Plugs for spoiler bolt holes?

Hi all, I’m looking for recommendations for hole plugs for where the spoiler used to mount (had to take it off because it was disintegrating).

I know I can use any old rubber plug but is there anything out there that will work particularly well here? (Also I know it’s dirty I’ll clean it up later)

I ordered some off amazon after measuring the hole diameter. I put a small dab of rtv on it so that no water can seep through. I have not had any issues.

I'd put some Philips head or Allen head bolts on there with seal-washers on the under side...

Appreciate it guys! I’ll have to check those things out the next time I visit the hardware store.

Since you're going to the hardware store- hit the plumbing dept and get some sink **** hole covers- They'll look a lot better than any kind of screws or bolts sticking through and come in chrome or colors. Paint to match if you have to.
