Hey Jboy want to sell me the flares? As gapguy said, your gonna have to bondo and paint. Depends on the size of the hole though. I've done some work with little plastic plugs and touch up paint.

I filled some of the trim holes in my '85 with a marine epoxy glue, it is fairly thick and very sticky. I just applied a blob to each hole, pushing it into the hole. Then once it set up most of the way, used a razor blade to trim it flush with the body. Since my truck is white as is the glue, I never bothered to paint it (all the holes are down on the rocker panel and mostly out of site. Has held up well for about 8 years.
When I removed my Bushwacker flares, I welded up the old rivet holes, sanded, primed and painted the fenders.

Does it blend with the other panels as good in real life as it apears to in the pics?

Go to your local marine store and pick up some marine-tex. It's a putty so you can mold it and smooth it out. Once it harderns, it's solid enough to sand like wood. Then just touch it up with some paint.
