Default Tailgate ideas after removing spare carrier
I have seen a few threads on plugging the holes and what not but nothing about the paint or other options. So what has everyone done with these holes or to cover this blemish?

a lot of people get the vent deletes, some are machine cut to say Jeep etc to go over then vent on the back, I think Sypder works has one too. for the hose looking holes, Lots of people have gone to Lowes/Home Depot etc and just get plugs to fill the holes so they arn't such an eye sore.

I definitely like that one. Probably wouldn't look as good on my black jeep, but I still like it.

That's pretty cool. For a black JK, just paint the area white before you permanently install the tramp stamp. Permanent.

Here are a few pics of our Element Plate. It allows you to keep your factory baffle in place. The baffle helps keep water out of the tailgate, and it regulates the air pressure inside the Jeep. You can mount RotoPax on the plate, leave it blank, or use it as a relocation point for your license plate. We also have our rear ufo's that fill in the two holes left by the rubber bumpers. Here is a link to our website: http://www.vectoroffroad.com Our plate provides the most useful options on the market. Here is another link to our Element Plate thread here on the JK-Forum: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...-Element-Plate. The Element Plate is bolt on. No permanent changes to your JK necessary.

On my 2011 I installed the Rampage cover, after having it painted to match my JK, installed the new license plate bracket and light, plugged the old license plate bracket hole with an OEM plug. I plugged the holes left in the rear deck with Vector hole plugs, and I put these on the hood after removing the OEM rubber windshield bumpers. They worked great.
