Default Filling pre-drilled holes in lexan

I am looking at getting a new body and I know you can't get a bug body anymore, but I saw this one body that I think will work but it has pre-drilled holes and I won't be able to use, any idea how to fill them so they won't just pop out again?

Any help would be awesome, thanks

Hendrik

Shoe Goo a piece of lexan as a backer to the underside of the body. Then use a 3-hole punch on a piece of scrap to pop out a little circle of lexan. Then Shoe Goo that into the hole. Cover w/ decal.
