I made some plugs myself and they work very well.

The wood is called Meranti overhere (cheap kind of mahogany-like wood), cut them out roughly, shaped them with a simple file and I died them black with a permanent marker. I glued some foam under them that keeps 'em in place very well.

I went to check out a guitar a few years ago and the guy had a clear adhesive film cut in the approximate shape of the holes. I couldn't even see them when I picked up the guitar. They were made from window cling paper for printing window clings on an inkjet printer. He said you can get it at any office supply store. Cheap and invisible. He is still using it so I assume it works. Something to consider. (test on a inconspicuous spot first!)
