I just bought mine at Lowes. I got the black ones and dang if they don't match the anthracite interior just about perfectly!

They are called Nylon Hole Plugs and they are in the drawer part of the nuts and bolts department.

They also have chrome ones, but they only come in the 5/8" size; no 11/16" so you might need to fuss with those a bit to make them work.

i just bought some this afternoon at lowe's. i was there for something else, saw them and remembered this post, so i bought them: 4 of the 11/16 and 2 of the 5/8. all they had was chrome , white , and black . it took 2 minutes to pop them in and for something so little, it does make a difference in the look inside.

Hmmm...I'd definitely have to paint them. I don't want them standing out TOO much! Thanks for all the help. That thread up at the top is the one I was looking for!

i had a set of the "MyMini" ones 'n two of them didnt fit right, i cant remember right but i think it wuz both back panel ones that dont fit correctly it wuz due to teh angle/pitch..they tell u that it might happen in ur instructions
so i got rid of 'em!
teh ones above from ebay or home depot seem like a better solution...

Just so y'all know, if you have the anthracite interior and get the black plugs, they're a real close match.

Here are mine...

Get them Lowes, $1.29 for a packet. You'll need 1 set of 5/8" and 1 set of 11/16". Just like the photo shows, they match up very nicely. Did mine today.

Another pic....
