Yeah, it seems they have the newest ones too. Use the "Ctrl-F" (find) function on your browser on the colors page and search on Infiniti.

You can get plastic interior trim plugs at most auto stores. They have a pin sticking out in the middle. When you push the pin in the body of the plug expands and holds it firmly in place.
You will end up with 2 neat round headed plugs. I did it with a car that had holes drilled for a plate in the front bumper. The plugs looked just as good a few years later when I sold the car.

I did order from bumper plugs and they were a bit bigger and required to drill the hole even larger in the front bumper. Luckliy, my dealer mailed me a black pair that fit perfectly and were smaller to.

You can go to Lowe's or most any hardware store and get a pair of plastic hole plugs for about $1.39 or less. They come in different sizes. Measure your bumper holes by using a drill bit to get the right size, or drill them out to the size plugs available. Buy some touch up paint from the dealership, auto parts store, or online for about $10. Paint the plugs. Put them in.

I tried clicking through to see what happens when you try to buy on their site earlier -- they do have a link with some additional color code info and also a link to email them. You might want to send them a letter first to get a confirmation about your exact paint code.

You can find your paint code on a tag affixed inside your driver door opening along with the tire pressure recommendations.

I'm having the same issue...I think I am just going to have my front bumper re-painted (its all chipped up anyways) and have them fill in the holes.

It definitely is B21 because I checked the Infiniti website. Also, as long as the paint code is the same then the color will be the same, it doesn't matter if something is called "Obsidian Black" or "Pitch Black" or even "Barney Purple", as long as the paint code is the same, it's the right color.
