purpose of black plastic covers beside fangs?
 

what's the purpose of the two removable small black plastic covers on the outside edge of each fang in the front bumper? was something like maybe a brake cooling duct was supposed to be installed but didn't make it to the production version? or are they there in case the owner decides to upgrade the car with cooling ducts or oil coolers later on?

Check the DIY section. I believe modshack did the mod for more air flow to the air filters.

yeah, i read that, and that's what raised the question in my mind. did nissan put the removable covers to help owners with future upgrades, or was there something like an oil cooler or brake cooling ducts that were originally part of the design of the car but were left out of the production model and replaced with the plastic cover instead?

They are there because you touch yourself at night...



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.

like the miata doors?

This question comes up every now and then, I have never seen a good answer though

No, Miata doors play a very large role in the structural integrity of the car. It is also widely accepted in the science community that the the fabric of time and space is woven together with Miata doors.

Miata Doors are unbreakable life-lasting innovations of technical magnificence.

Heatseeking missiles?

I mounted fleshlights in mine. Yes, fleshlights.

Did you accidentally a fleshlight? :icon08:

they are the unicorn blood holders that connect to the fangs that drain the unicorn blood.

Well, this one time I accidentally my fleshlight.
