Default 98-02 Front bumper Body filler question

Hi-any suggestions on what compound or filler bonds best when filling holes in front bumper cover. I like the look w/o any type of grill.

Thanks in advance

unfortunately our front bumpers are made out of some god awful material, and there really isn't any product that bonds with them properly. (which is why when a front bumper tears, people replace instead of repairing) technically it can be done, but it is extremely annoying.

The guys/gals at 3M have to be crazy smart. Everything I've ever used from them is awesome. That 5887 filler is amazing. It sands easier than bondo and doesn't clog up the sand paper.
