Bed corner "holes" after bumper removal

Hey gang. Been a lurker for a long time, browsing all sorts of threads for info. I haven't seen (or been able to find) anything on this, so hoping someone might have heard of an idea for my dilemma.

I removed my rear bumper, and fabricated a way to make the N-fab rear runner into the actual bumper. I purchased it a bit ignorant (a LOT ignorant). Purchased online having only seen pictures of the bar itself, not of it actually installed on a truck, I though it was like the RSP front bumper I purchased at the same time (a replacement piece). I did NOT like the look (or the idea) of attaching it to the rear bumper, so I MADE it the bumper.

As anyone who's removed a bumper before knows, there's a bit of a mess now on the bottom corners of the bed. Is there anything on the market that "fills" these holes in? Has anyone ever made anything to make this less conspicuous?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

 

Pics?

 

Here's what I'm looking at...

 

You probably aren't going to find anything other than plastic snap plugs and they wont really clean up the mess. As far as anyone ever making something like that look good, sure. Bodymen have been doing things like that forever. I would probably fill the holes and channels with lead and make the whole thing look like one single piece of metal I dont know if anybody still does lead work so maybe a shop would do it with polyester body filler but it seems to me that it would be too thick in places and eventually crack out. Other than that all I can think to do is camouflage it up by painting the area a low gloss black along with the bumper and maybe the area between the bumper and tailgate. Then put black snap plugs in the holes.

Edit - maybe the modern poly fillers can be applied that thick without a problem. All my experience was long ago. Back in the day I really hated to make it anymore than about 1/16 (preferrably less) and no more than about 1/8 in a short very narrow crease.

 

You might try getting bumper end caps and attaching somehow.

Otherwise, I think you're looking at a custom solution.

 

Someone on TW recently built caps out of fiberglass, but I can't find the post.

3D printing or heat molded plastic would probably be easier for most.

 

If you build your own, you can mold in beer holders. My previous vehicle;

 

I think the part you are looking for is called a roll pan. I have seen them on lowered trucks to get them streamlined

 

I think a roll pan is a more complete replacement, that keeps the bumper flush with the bed/tailgate.
