etap vs cable stops/lugs

Slightly frivolous / vain, but having decided to fit etap to an older titanium frame which has all the typical little lugs for cable stops / adjusters - any thoughts on how to avoid these looking plain fugly/pointless when the cables are removed?
Short of getting them removed altogether has anyone found a use for them or filled them with a grommet or something?
Serious question! TIA.

Ha, new frame is indeed the longer term plan but having just shelled out a bag of sand for etap it'll have to wait!
Any more? Feel free to share pics of your awful frame appendages living alongside etap
Thanks, I found other refs to this sugru stuff on other boards, will check it out
I was planning on a new frame but the one I fancied didn't fit.
I am fitting it to my Px Pro Carbon and, like you, am wondering what to do with the lugs on the downtube and DS chainstay.
I will probably end up just hacksawing them off - delicately of course.
Gear changes are wonderfully effortless, quick and precise.
They go click click quite rapidly -1st is the shifter and the 2nd click is the gear change.
However I'm not so sure about the shape of the shifter hoods.
They seem a bit squared off compared to my previous SRAM Apex.
I have inserted a piece of gel bar tape under the hood and that seems to have sorted them.
