Here's what I did as a solution for mine. I went to Advance (or any auto parts store) and bought a plastic hole plug. Not sure if I have the "DORMAN" (the company that makes them) part #.

I did it for both my Insight and HCH. The Insight has two holes and the HCH has the one directly in the center as you mentioned. I didn't paint it the same color as the car so it's black but it smoothed out the front a lot more than the hole that was in the bumper. That drove me nuts. Maybe later I'll hit it with some touch up to match the car but actually it doesn't look too bad.

'00 Insight "Wazabi" -75,000+ miles
'03 Toyota Matrix - 81,000+ miles
'03 HCH-CVT-OSBM-41,000+ miles (retired 04-10-06)
