Hey lucky owners....What goes here?

What goes in the upper corners of the front black plastic grill?
There are two round holes on all the showroom 8s that i've seen so far & you can usually see the white bumper filling inside.

Also, in the back bumper, there is a threaded hole in between the exhaust tip and the center rotory logo?

This stuff kindda looked awkward and out of place on the car & I don't remember seeing it on Rev-it-Up 8s.

Thanks,
norats

Maybe they were used as some type of 'lynch pin' during shipping. I saw another 8 right parked side by side and it had a perfect grill without holes.

Ok, thanks...I'll make sure mine are there.
What other stuff is the dealer supposed to install when these come in?

I believe that those are threaded receptacles for the removable towing eyes which are stowed in the trunk with the jack.

If you look under the plastic flap in the trunk where the tools are, you'll see the two towing hooks, and there are installtion instructions in the manual telling you never let anyone pull or tow the car using anything but these as bumper damage will occur.
