Fill holes left by front spoiler removal?

Fill holes left by front spoiler removal?
Didn't know if I should put this in this forum or the Exterior Styling forum.
Anyways, here's a picture of the car after I removed the front spoiler today. (Was much easier than I thought!)
Any tips on how to fill those?
edit: The goal here is to make it presentable for private party sale. I am wanting a relatively cheap fix, as I won't get anything more than what I owe on this car.

You didn't say "tacky" was a potential deal breaker.
Seriously, If I was looking at a used Sport I would want the OE front lip on there. Is yours destroyed? If it was just cracked/scraped I would attempt to repair it (I have successfully used soldering guns to "weld" plastic parts back together.) Then fill and paint it (suggest Black Bumper Paint since your car is dark...this paint has the needed flex agents for this application). It needn't match perfectly in color or sheen.
EDIT: You could always sell the car "as is" and point out the benefits of having Brake Cooling Ducts!

The proper "spin" on any issue is the cornerstone of both Salesmanship and Politics!
Ever seen the show Wheeler Dealer on HDTheater? Priceless.

How about epoxy a peice of sheet metal 24 ga. to the back and take the 90 degree
edges down with a die grinder on the front side and fill with bondo. Sand, prime and paint
then you could wrap with the faux C.F.
