The holes can be filled and painted, however , if you do this, you have to remove the bumper, have the holes filled, and then the whole bumper must be repainted.
You can also buy a grill that looks like the bumper underneath, and will save you some money. Here's a link for that. http://www.dgmotorsports.com/details...&ProcessType=1

Or you can always do the Camaro grill from SLP. All 3 look really good to me. I think I am going to buy the grill that looks like the bumper, and paint it to match.

If they are repainting the nose I would have them fill the holes so you don't have to run an insert. It will look much better than a "snap in" grill. They will fill the holes with epoxy then skim coat them, you'll never know that they where there.
