I've seen people buy color matched plugs from www.bumperplugs.com and it also looks about the same if you just remove the bracket, paint the screws with touch-up paint, and put them back into the holes. If you've got loads of money and/or your bumper is scratched or discolored from the bracket, you could always get the bumper refinished by a bodyshop.

Home Depot has some plugs in their specialty faster drawers that fit nicely. You can cover all the holes for less than a buck. Use some touch up paint to paint them.
