What are my options for hiding the holes once my QJ tubes are in? I have the Mk4 with the once-piece front tube. I could source a big grommet, but wondering if there are purpose made solutions.
Thanks!

This is what I did, happy with the results.
Got all the parts from **********.

I found some grommets at Finish Line Accessories. They have different ones for the front versus the rear. Can't hurt to look at them.

The link MPTech posted has a lot of information about how to finish the quick jack openings including use of the ********** grommets. I was part of that discussion and also posted pictures of my completed Mk3. Since then Mk4 #7750 was finished, this time with overriders instead of quick jacks. Pictured below. Both did use the ********** grommets again. They really work very well and are perfect in this application. Note though that the ********** grommet holes are 3/4 inch. So the stock FF tubes at 5/8 inch OD will leave a gap. Some use them this way and it's OK. But if you want to fill them completely, ********** also sells 3/4 inch OK tubing.
