Default GMC Yukon roof rack plates

My wife's Yukon is in the paint shop getting two toned and I too the roof rack off the day we brought it home. I put some body plugs from Advance in the holes to keep them from leaking. The guy painting it said that there are some billet plates that go there that can be painted and will give it a better finished look. I have looked and can't find them, short of having the holes filled it looks like I will be rocking the body plugs until I find them or just belly up and have the holes filled. I am just not sure if I have the to wait for it to be done. Anyone seen these or know where I can find them? I have no idea who carries them or who makes them....please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Billet plates? I don't know of those but I'll ask around and see what's used to fill them by most as I will be pulling the rack on mine soon too.

http://www.empiremotorsports.com/car...&ProductID=458 This is them I finally looked long enough. I wished we knew someone to make them smooth and as low profile as possible. I would like them to be as small as possible because I want to paint them so they blend better

Yeah I'd want whatever goes there to mount flush. I may just end up filling it in and painting over it.

I really like the concept but I would rather have the 2 front ones a little more bullet shaped at the front and as thin as possible and smooth so I can paint them. Anyone have a CNC or the means to make it? My wife's truck is in the shop and want them ASAP. Or 2 long pieces to resemble the ridges in the roof. Like a long piece from the front holes to the back holes in one long piece. Anyone able to help

I made a post asking if anyone has access to a CNC machine to make either 6 small pieces or 1 long piece for each side. It would be really badass if someone could help me out
