hood dilima

My 74 f100 had a mack truck hood ornament on it along with two bars to each side of it. This style is not me so i removed it and now i have 6 holes and the truck was painted with this on it. Other than getting the holes repaired and the hood repainted what are my options. It was be nice if i could find a hood deflector but it appears this is not an option and the truck does not need a complete repaint just yet. I tried doing a patch myself which did not turn out.

Your pretty much stuck with the holes if you dont wanna do any paint. I'd weld em shut and spot blend the hood.
