Square Cutout?

Zyonara · 02-17-2010, 12:55 AM

Does anyone know what the little square cutout between the license plate area and the foglamp area is for? I just purchased a rearview camera and I want to put it in that spot.

it has a hollow-hole in there. sucks for me because someone tried to jack that piece and they did...now i had to replace it with a new plastic piece and it comes un-painted so it looks fugly.

yeah thats what everyone is saying. used to recover the vehicle and they use them when shipping the cars from overseas to secure them on the ship in case of inclement weather and rough waters.
