It's a purely aesthetic thing... It's like the grille on the Mazda 3... Nissan didn't put them there with brake ducting in mind. It just so happened that they wanted to run this fang design, and those two open areas would really serve no purpose, so they cover it up with some fancy plastic that "looks" like a grille.
however though is that while the upper half of this cover is one piece with the bumper, the lower half is only held with bolts and clips and is removable. it's almost as if they were made on purpose in case someone wanted to add some cooling ducts

You've got it the other way around... the top part is the removable part (I removed mine). I tend to think that it's purely a manufacturing/cost issue but unless it's been documented somewhere there's no way we can really figure out what the Nissan engineers were thinking.

But either way it DOES make for a nice place to attach some ducting... whether it be for brakes or intakes. :tup:

I was thinking last night, "what could I mount in the fang vents that would just look ridiculous." I was thinking about buying some of those wooden snakes to have slithering out of them.
